To the Faculty and Alumni of Hering 
Medical College in grateful recognition of 
their labors in maintaining the principles 
and practice of Hahnemann, to which the 
life-work of Co?istanti?ie Heri?ig, the Nestor 
of American Homeopathy zvas devoted, this 
volume is dedicated as an incentive to eter- 
nal vigilance, the advance-guard in the 
march of scientific therapctitics. 



PREFACE. 



THE author is deeply grateful to his professional colleagues, 
especially in India where fevers of every type are endem- 
ial, for their commendations of the monograph on Inter- 
mittent Fever. Since the publication of the first edition in 1879 
an extended experience in the treatment of chronic intermitteuts 
has conclusively verified the teachings of Hahnemann, that the 
most obstinate and intractable cases occur chiefly in psoric or 
tubercular patients, and the more deep the dyscrasia the more 
protracted the fever. Another clinical fact which has been veri- 
fied by many observing homeopathic physicians that the sup- 
pressive treatment by massive doses of quinine as practiced by the 
dominant school, is not only positively injurious but often fatal. 
Massive doses of Peruvian Bark or any of its alkaloids can only 
suppress the symptoms and thereby increase the sufferings of the 
patient. 

Hahnemann's lesson in the Chronic Diseases on the treatment 
of acute syphilis must be applied to fevers of all types and acute 
diseases of every name and every kind, irrespective of habitat. 
If, as he affirms in the Organon, acute diseases "are generally 
only a transitory outbreak, an explosion of a latent psoric affec- 
tion," the symptomatic expression of this or any other dyscrasia 
must be included in the anamnesis, and the remedy selected from 
the totality thus obtained. 

This volume includes the therapeutics of typhoid, typhus, and 
fevers of every grade and name, from acute sporadic and epidemic 
intermittent to the malignant type of the malarial fevers of the 
tropics. Hut the same law of cure, the same rule of practice applies 
to each patient. It is the palioit not the fever that is chiefly and 
especially to be considered. It is the individual with his or her 
peculiar idiosyncrasies and constitutional inheritances with which 



b PREFACE. 

we have to deal. The symptoms of the latent psoric affection 
must be analyzed as fully and completely as the symptoms of the 
"transitory outburst," the fever paroxysm. As a rule, the 
family history is much more suggestive of the curative remedy 
than the rapid pulse and high temperature, and should be care- 
fully studied. When discovered, the constitutional miasm — psora, 
sycosis, syphilis, tuberculosis — should be especially noted, for 
here will often be found the key with which to unlock the secret 
of the severity of the attack or the relapsing tendency of the fever. 
It is the experience of the author that if the remedy be selected 
from the totality of the objective, subjective, and miasmatic 
symptoms, the patient may be cured in any stage of the fever. 
It is not necessary for a typhoid or any other fever to " run its 
course. ' ' 

The author desires to express his obligations to Drs. Geo. H. 
Clark, C. B. Gilbert, Wm. Jefferson Guernsey, St. Clair Smith, 
E. V. Ross, and P. C. Majumdar for valuable suggestions; and 
to Drs. C. E. Fisher and C. B. Hall for suggestions and aid in 
proof-reading. He is also duly grateful that he is blessed with a 
publisher and printer who take pride in the character and quality 
of their work irrespective of the dollars concerned. 



THERAPEUTICS OF FEVERS. 



" After he has found all the existing and appreciable symptoms 

of the disease, the physician has found the disease itself — he has 

a complete idea of it, and knows all he need know to cure it." — 

Hahnemann's Medicine of Experietice . 

THE CAUSE. 

A PHYSICIAN is rarely to be met with who cannot at once, 
and with apparent certainty, formulate a theory for the 
cause of intermittent or other fevers. This universal 
knowledge is only equaled by the variety of theories entertained, 
and the failures inseparable from the attempt to treat the theory of 
the cause, and the name of the disease, instead of the totality of the 
symptoms — subjective and objective — presented by the patient. 
The natural result of this attempt to follow the teachings and 
practice of Allopathy, is the charge, so often made by our medical 
brethren of the opposite school, that " Homeopaths are not honest 
in their practice;" and this charge has been more frequently 
based upon what they have seen of our treatment of fevers than 
of all other diseases combined. Allopathy affirms that Intermit- 
tent Fever cannot be cured without Quinine, because Quinine is 
the antidote of " Marsh Miasm," which is the cause of intermit- 
tent fever; and many homeopaths — departing from the law of 
cure, and neglecting their Materia Medica — honestly cherish a 
similar delusion. 

The object of this work is to deal with therapeutic facts, not 
with speculative theories. The author has no theory to advance; 
and none to disprove except such as interfere with the successful 
homeopathic treatment of this bite noir of our profession. We 
are unable to offer an intelligent explanation of the cause of 



8 THERAPEUTICS OF FEVERS. 

sporadic or epidemic intermittent fever that will bear the test of 
scientific investigation, and Hahnemann's one therapeutic fact is 
worth more at the bedside than all the theories that have ever 
been advanced. 

" Intermittent fever is a neurosis. Its phenomena, as chill and 
heat, are distinct; their origin must also be distinct. The heat is 
due to the action on the sym pathetic system; the chill to the 
spinal system." — Lord, on Int. Fever. 

" We believe intermittent fever is a neurosis, whose seat is espe- 
cially in the ganglionic system, and therefore only nerve reme- 
dies, and particularly such as act on the vaso-motor part, can 
cure." — Wurmb arid Caspar on hit. Fever. 

" Acute cases must always be treated by cerebro-spinal reme- 
dies; chronic cases by organic remedies." — Burt's Characteristics. 

" Ague remedies may be divided into two classes, viz. : Quinine, 
Gelsemium, Eucalyptus, Nux vomica, Arsenic and Cedron, which 
have the power of destroying protozoa, infusoria, and cryptogamic 
fungi; and Eupatorium, Cornus, Salicine, Arnica, Natrum mur. , 
and Hydrastis which have not that power, yet correspond to the 
periodicity of the paroxysm." — Hale' s Therapeutics, p. 609. 

Bartlett, Salisberry, and others who maintain the cryptogamic 
theory have many followers in our school; and here Carbolic 
acid, Salicylic acid, Sulphite of Soda, etc , must be used to destroy 
the germs. 

Grauvogl's theory of splenic congestion and constitutional divi- 
sions, has many advocates. But it requires a Grauvogl to detect 
the constitution and splenic congestion; or a Lord, or Wurmb 
and Caspar, to select the cerebro-spinal or sympathetic remedy; 
or a Burt, Hughes, Hale, or Kafka to classify the remedies. 

THE MALARIAL THEORY, 

(Marsh Miasm), 

Is, however, most generally accepted. The evidence advanced 
in its support is the prevailing occurrence of epidemics, where 
this poison presumably exists. It is supposed to be the result of 
decaying vegetable and other organic matter, and is found along 



THE MALARIAL THEORY. y 

rivers with low, swampy, alluvial shores, subject to frequent 
overflow; near bodies of stagnant water; in the neighborhood of 
recently dug canals, cellars, or freshly plowed virgin soil; near 
marshes, particularly on leeward side of prevailing winds. It is 
confined near the earth, seems to spread in a horizontal direction; 
and its progress may be cut off by walls, hedges, high banks, and 
dense forests. Unlike the poison of Diphtheria, Rubeola, Scarla- 
tina, Variola, and Typhus, it is neither contagious nor infectious; 
but also unlike them, each attack only renders the system more 
liable to a subsequent one. 

But, on the other hand, it has long been known that the fever 
may exist on a dry, or even on a sandy soil, and in rocky, moun- 
tainous regions where it is often more extensive and severe than 
in the adjoining low country. Ziemsseu says: " On the Tuscan 
Appeuines fevers are found at the height of 1,100 feet; on the 
slopes of mountains of Ceylon at 6,500 feet; on the Pyrenees at 
5,000 feet; and on the Andes, in Peru, at 10,000 and 1 1,000 feet; 
while at the same time the neighboring plains are entirely free, 
or are only visited in a very mild form." There are large tracts 
of lands where all the conditions of malaria exist, and yet no in- 
termittent fever; and other districts where no conditions of 
miasma are to be found, and yet ague is endemic every season. 
The fever occurs in a sporadic form where miasma never prevails, 
and the patients had never been in a malarial region. Moreover, 
the inhabitants of a valley where the disease prevails removing to 
a mountainous region where it is unknown, are often attacked 
with intermittent fever. The microscopist, with his most power- 
ful lens, has never yet been able to detect the miasm; and chem- 
ical and spectral analysis are alike powerless to solve the problem. 
The internal cause of all fevers is in our own bodies and is un- 
known, and because unknown we cannot expect to find its oppo- 
site, for we must know the poison before we give an antidote. 

On such evidence — quite as strong against as in favor of the 
malarial theory — we may be pardoned if we doubt the existence 
of such an agent in the production of intermittent fever. And 
when we are asked to abandon the certainties of our law of cure, 
and accept a treatment based upon the antidoting of an unknown 



10 THERAPEUTICS OF FEVERS. 

poison, as homeopaths we should respectfully decline. We know 
quite as much of the nature of those poisons which produce scar- 
latina, diphtheria and typhus as we do of that which produces in- 
termittent fever; yet the success of the so-called antidotal treat- 
ment is not such as would warrant any homeopath in abandon- 
ing the teaching of his Materia Medica for it. This search after 
a hypothetical cause, and the adoption of a treatment based upon 
its supposed discovery, has been the fatal Scylla upon which has 
stranded many a homeopathic success. The element of accuracy 
once removed, our practice degenerates into empiricism. 

THE PSORIC DIATHESIS. 

Another cause for intermittents, and especially for the most 
obstinate types — a cause almost universally neglected or over- 
looked by the majority of homeopathic physicians — is found in 
the inherited dyscrasia of the patient, the psoric or tubercular 
diathesis. Hahnemann says (Chronic Diseases, page 75): 

Intermittent fever, even when there are no cases about, either sporadic, 
epidemic or endemic, the form, duration and type of the fever are very 
various ; quotidian, tertian, quartan, quintan or every seven days. 

Every evening, chills with blue nails. 

Every evening, single chills. 

Every evening, heat with a rush of blood to the head, with red cheeks, 
also at times an intervening chill. 

Intermittent fever of several weeks' duration, followed by a moist itching 
eruption lasting several weeks, but which is healed again during a like 
period of intermittent fever, and alternating thus for years. 

Epidemic intermittent fevers probably never seize a man who is free from 
psora, so that wherever there is a susceptibility to them, it is to be accounted 
a symptom of psora. 

This is true, not only of intermittents but of typhoid, typhus 
and all types of continued fevers. All fevers that tend to a pro- 
tracted, low or malignant type, occur in the psoric or tubercular 
patient, and the more deeply psoric the more malignant the 
attack. 

SIMILIA IS A NEVER-FAILING GUIDE. 

It would, no doubt, be a great satisfaction to be able to explain 
the cause of intermittent fever; and it would be equally gratifying 



SIMILIA IS A NEVER-FAILING GUIDE. 11 

to be able to tell why all persons, subjected to the same ex- 
posure, are not attacked ; just as it would be a satisfaction to 
be able to explain the cause of many phenomena in physical 
science existing all about us. Such knowledge might aid us in a 
sanitary way in preventing the disease or modifying its severity: 
but it could never be of the slightest benefit in its homeopathic 
treatment. When once we depart from Hahnemann's method of 
individualizing each case, we enter upon the sea of doubt and un- 
certainty upon which our allopathic brethren, without a compass, 
have ever sailed. 

" If our school ever gives up the strict inductive method of 
Hahnemann, we are lost, and deserve only to be mentioned as a 
caricature in the history of medicine." — Constantine Hering. 

Hale — in condemning the indiscriminate use of Quinine — says: 
" Unless the physician is absolutely certain that the attack is due 
to miasmatic poisoning, he should wait until the disease shows its 
true character." How is it possible for the physician to be 
" absolutely certain " that he is dealing with miasmatic poison- 
ing? And how can that knowledge change the symptoms pre- 
sented by the patient, or enable us with more ease, or greater 
certainty, to select the remedy? There is a very nice distinction 
between certain and sure. I am certain the sun will rise; I am 
sure it has risen. The successful treatment of intermittent fever 
requires that the physician should not only be certain, but sure. 
I am sure I have a sick man to treat who presents certain symp- 
toms; but I am not certain that he has been poisoned with 
miasma or has been within a hundred miles of it; and I am quite 
uncertain whether the " cerebro-spinal " or "sympathetic" is 
affected; or whether to select, or how to select, a cerebro-spinal or 
organic remedy. There are many remedies which affect both 
nervous systems; my patient requires but one. But of this I am 
sure, that the objective and subjective symptoms of which he complains 
are in every respect similar to those produced on the healthy subject 
by Cinchona. For me and my patient this simple fact is all-suf- 
ficient. It approximates a mathematical demonstration. There 
are no doubts or uncertanties about it. My patient does not have 
to wait until 1 can demonstrate the truth or falsity <>f some favorite 



12 THERAPEUTICS OF FEVERS. 

theory, which, whether right or wrong, could never change the 
characteristics of his case, so far as the selection of the remedy is 
concerned. 

EXAMINATION OF THE PATIENT. 

The first step in individualization — the keystone of the homeo- 
pathic arch — begins with an examination of the patient. It is im- 
possible to examine a patient in general and prescribe for him 
in particular. Before we can select a remedy for a given case we 
must first ascertain the particular symptoms of which the patient 
complains, which form the picture of the disease; and this is often 
a most difficult task. 

Hahnemann says: '' The totality of the symptoms which char- 
acterize a given case, being once committed to writing, the most 
difficult part is accomplished." 

Dunham says: "Do you say that this is an easy matter? 
Gentlemen, it is the most difficult part of your duty. To select 
the remedy after a masterly examination and record of the case is 
comparatively easy. But to take the case requires great knowledge 
of human nature, of the history of disease, and, as we shall see, 
of the Materia Medica." 

" Make haste slowly " never had a better illustration in medical 
science than in this advice; as no disease demands a closer observ- 
ance of instructions, or a more strict adherence to principle for its 
successful treatment, than intermittent and other fevers. 

The symptoms occurring before and during the chill, heat, sweat 
and apyrexia ; the time of occurrence of paroxysm; the parts of 
the body in which the chill first makes its appearance; the 
regularity of its stages ; the degree or absence of thirst, and time 
of its appearance; as well as the constitutional ailments aroused by 
the fever, are all to be carefully noted. 

''Till the present time, pathology has only been acquainted 
with one single intermittent fever, which has been called ague. 
It admits of no other difference than the interval which exists be- 
tween the paroxysms; and upon this are founded the particular 
denominations, quotidian, tertian, quartan, etc. But besides the 
variety which they present in regard to the periods of their return, 



EXAMINATION OF THE PATIENT. 13 

the intermittent fevers exhibit yet other changes that are much 
more important. Among these fevers there are many which 
cannot be denominated agues, because their attacks consist solely 
of heat; others are characterized by cold only, succeeded or not 
by perspirations; while yet others freeze the body of the patient, 
and inspire him notwithstanding with a sensation of heat, or even 
create in him a feeling of cold, although he seems very warm 
to the touch; in many, one of the paroxysms is confined to 
shivering or cold, which is immediately succeeded by a comfort- 
able sensation, and that which comes after it consists of heat fol- 
lowed by perspiration or not. In one case, it is heat which 
manifests itself first, and cold succeeds; in another, both the cold 
and heat give place to apyrexia; while the next paroxysm, which 
sometimes does not occur before an interval of several hours, con- 
sist merely of perspiration; in certain cases no trace of perspira- 
tion is perceptible, while in others the attack is composed solely 
of perspiration, without either heat or cold, or of perspiration that 
flows during the heat alone. There exist, likewise, innumerable 
differences relative to the accessory symptoms, the particular kind 
of headache, the bad taste in the mouth, the stomach sickness, 
the vomiting, the diarrhoea, the absence or degree of thirst, the 
kind of pains felt in the body and limbs, sleep, delirium, spasms, 
changes of the temper, etc., which manifest themselves before, 
during or after the cold, hot, or sweating stages, without taking 
into account a multitude of other deviations. These are usually 
intermittent fevers that are very different from one another, each 
of which demands naturally that mode of homeopathic treatment 
most appropriate to it individually. It must be confessed that 
they may almost all bs suppressed (a case that so frequently 
occurs; by large and enormous doses of Cinchona or Quinine — 
that is to say, Cinchona prevents their periodical return and 
destroys the type. But where this remedy is employed in inter- 
mittent fevers, where it is inappropriate (as in the case with all 
epidemic intermittents, which pass over whole countries, and even 
mountains), the patient is not at all cured, becuise the character 
of the disease is destroyed; he is still indisposed, and often much 
more so than he was before; he suffers from a peculiar chronic

bark complaint, often incurable, and yet this is what physicians 
term a cure." — Note to § 233, Organon. 

The type of fever — intermittent (tertian, quartan, etc.), remit- 
tent, bilious, malarial, typhoid, etc., etc. — at most is but a single 
symptom, and of little, if any value, as a symptom in the selec- 
tion of the remedy. We must take all the evidences of disturbed 
health, both local and general, on which to make a selection. 

The physician of the "rational " (?) school searches only for 
general conditions. To be able to diagnose ague and its quotid- 
ian, tertian, or quartan form, or bilious, or remittent fever, is 
enough for him; it satisfies the supposed demands of science, and 
enables him to prescribe Quinine or some preparation of Cinchona 
(see Organon, p. 195). Either the ready facility of this general- 
izing practice with the entire absence of consistency in its applica- 
tion, or a praiseworthy, yet unsuccessful attempt to utilize the 
pathological theories of Allopathy, have induced many very ex- 
cellent men of our school to abandon, if they ever possessed, a 
knowledge of Hahnemann's inductive method, for this "short 
cut" to success. This can be better illustrated by the following 
comparison of

remedies is apparently well indicated. On the other hand, there 
is but a single remedy that will meet the requirements of Dr. 
Johnson's. It does not aid us in finding the remedy to know that 
the paroxysm is not of the typical form, or that gastric or cerebral 
disturbance be present, or that malarial poison has profoundly 
impressed the sympathetic ganglia, or even to know that he feels 
as he did in his former attack. We want a statement of the case 
in graphic figurative language, not in the abstract terms of 
science. We want a clear statement of the objective and sub- 
jective phenomena which precede, accompany or follow the 
various stages of the paroxysm.

— B. F. Josun, Horn. News. 

"A simple, fresh, uncomplicated caseof intermittent fever," 
etc., may be promptly cured by twenty-five or thirty other reme- 
dies as well as Quinine; but Arsenic, alone, will cure that of Dr. 
Joslin's. To know that Quinine, or any other remedy, has cured 
intermittent fever is of no value to the homeopath; unless he be 
given the particulars in which this fever, cured by Quinine, 
differed from other similar fevers; and generalization cau never 
give him this knowledge. 

" There are diversities in the form in which intermittent fever 
appears in different persons and in different epidemics; that these 
forms require different remedies, and that thus there is a form 
which is capable of being cured by Arsenic, and by nothing else; 
a form capable of being cured by Quinine and by nothing else; 
and so of other drugs. In this view, when a case of intermittent 
fever presents itself, the question can never be: Is Arsenic a 
better remedy for this disease than Quinine is? Does it offer 



16 THERAPEUTICS OF FEVERS. 

greater chances of a cure? There can be no better or worse. 
The question is between right and wrong; suitable and not suit- 
able The question should be always: Which remedy corresponds 
to this particular case, and is, therefore, indicated in it?" Dun- 
ham, Vol. II, p. 20 1. 

THE GENUS EPIDEMICUS. 

As the prevailing cough which occurs during epidemic whoop- 
ing-cough is relieved by the genus of the epidemic; or the acute 
angina occurring when diphtheria is prevalent is also most readily 
controlled by the remedy which controls the epidemic; so also 
may our attention be directed to the curative remedy in inter- 
mittent fever by carefully observing the character of the prevail- 
ing disease. This is especially the case in sea-side intermittents 
which so often find their similimum in Arsenicum, Gelsemium, 
or Natrum muriaticum. Where the epidemic breaks out after an 
overflow of a river, Baptisia, Bryonia, Capsicum or Rhus may 
frequently be called for; or during epidemic dysentery occurring 
at autumn Colchicum may relieve every case. Cinchona, Eu- 
calyptus, Eupatorium, Ipecacuanha, Malaria officinalis and other 
drugs are often thought of in this connection, when a careful 
study will lead to the remedy required. 

Hahnemann calls attention to this feature of disease in the fol- 
lowing: 

"Epidemics of intermittents occurring in places where sucb 
fevers are not epidemic, partake of the nature of chronic diseases, 
and are composed of a series of acute attacks. Each epidemic 
possesses a peculiar uniform character, common to all individuals 
attacked by the epidemic disease. By observing the complex of 
symptoms peculiar to all patients, this common character will be 
found to point out the homeopathic (specific) remedy for all cases 
in general. This remedy will also usually relieve patients who, 
previous to this epidemic, had enjoyed good health, and who 
were free from developed psora." 



WHEN TO ADMINISTER THE REMEDY. 17 

WHEN TO ADMINISTER THE REMEDY. 

Although this has never been a question of much controversy, 
yet the prevailing practice has been to administer Aconite, Gel- 
semium, Veratrum viride, or some other favorite during the 
paroxysm, for the double purpose of " doing something" and 
"controlling the fever." Every observing physician who has 
had much experience in the treatment of intermittent or other 
fevers will testify that this plan rarely has any perceptible effect 
upon the paroxysm, unless it be to render it more obscure. This 
"doing something" can be successfully accomplished with Sac^ 
lac, if it be absolutely necessary to do anything. The easiest, 
safest, most satisfactory and scientific method is that of Hahne- 
mann, and no cause for regret will ever follow its adoption. 

Hahnemann says, Organon, § 236: " In these cases, the medi- 
cine is generally most efficacious when it is administered a short 
time after the termination of the paroxysm, when the patient has 
partially recovered from it. During the intermission the medi. 
cine will have time to develop its curative effect in the organism, 
without violent action or disturbance; while the effect of a medi- 
cine, though specifically adapted to the case, given just before 
the next paroxysm, would coincide with the renewal of the dis. 
ease, thereby creating such counteraction and distress in the 
organism, as to deprive the patient of much strength, and even 
to endanger life.* But if the medicine is given just after the ter- 
mination of the attack, when the fever has entirely subsided, and 
before the premonitory symptoms of the next paroxysm have 
time to appear, the vital force of the organism is in the most 
favorable condition to be gently modified by the medicine, and re- 
stored to healthy action." 

>i 237: " If the feverless interval is very brief, as in some se- 
vere fevers, or if it is disturbed by the after-effects of the preced- 
ing paroxysm, the dose of homeopathic medicine should be 

re are proofs of this, unfortunately, in the too frequent cases of where 
a moderate allopathic dose of Opium, administered to the patient during the 
cold stage of the fever, has quickly deprived him of life. — Note to Organon, 
P- i95.

administered when the perspiration diminishes, or when the sub- 
sequent stages of the paroxysm decline." 

§238: "One dose of the appropriate remedy may prevent 
several attacks, and may actually have restored health; neverthe- 
less, we may perceive threatening indications of a new attack, 
and in this case only, the same medicine should be repeated, pro- 
vided the complex of symptoms continues to be the same." 

If, after the exhibition of the proper remedy, the next paroxysm 
be earlier and more severe, or later and milder than preceding one, 
the action of the remedy should not be interfered with; wait for 
succeeding paroxysm, which may be lighter still or not return at 
all. 

§ 245. "Perceptible and continued progress of improvement 
in an acute or chronic disease, is a condition which, as long as it 
lasts, invariably counter- indicates the repetition of any medicine 
whatever, because the beneficial effects which the medicine con- 
tinues to exert is rapidly approaching its perfection. Under these 
circumstances every new dose of any medicine, even of the last 
one that proved beneficial, would disturb the process of re- 
covery. ' ' 

To many, as it was to Hahnemann for years, this is one of the 
most perplexing problems in practice. Those who have given it 
a trial are convinced not only of the soundness of Hahnemann's 
conclusions, but of its superior success in practice. Those who 
have never tried it can never know its scientific value. 

THE SIMILIMUM. 

The selection of the remedy is the question of questions — the 
one of vital import to the physician as well as his patient. Once 
unmistakably found, a cure will as certainly result. The potency 
question, in comparison, sinks into insignificance. The more 
perfect the similimum, the quicker and surer the cure. On the 
other hand, if the remedy be not the proper one, no matter how 
high or how low the potency, how crude the drug, or how massive 
the dose, we will utterly fail; or, at most, only partially cure by 
suppressing the attack. We are slow to learn the great lesson 



THE SIMILIMUM. 19 

inculcated by Hahnemann from the first to the last page of the 
Organon: that it is quality, not quantity, that cures; that the 
proper selection of the remedy is of much greater moment than 
the quantity to be given; that disease is not an entity, and cannot 
be expelled from the system by quantity; nor ca?i qtiantity ever 
take the place of, or ato?ie for, an improper or imperfect selection of 
the remedy ; neither Arsenicum, Cinchona, Quinine in an)- form — 
crude, low or poteutized — can ever cure a Nux vomica fever. 

Dunham says: " The selection of the remedy for a case of sick- 
ness, is a process of comparison. We compare the symptoms of 
the case with the symptoms which drugs have produced in the 
healthy; and we select the drug of which the symptoms are most 
similar to those of the patient. We seek a parallelism between 
drug symptoms and those of the patient. The symptoms of a 
case of sickness, like the physiological phenomena of healthy 
persons, are not always and during all time the same; they vary 
from day to day, from hour to hour or from minute to minute. 
Indeed, it might properly be said that life is, in so far as every 
physiological process is concerned, a series of oscillations within 
physiological limits; now action is vehement, now mild; waste is 
now in excess, now in deficit. 

"Just so it is with morbid phenomena or symptoms, whether 
they be of natural, or of artificial or drug disease. We are then 
instituting comparison between, so to speak, oscillating and con- 
tinually shifting series of phenomena. 

" Now, the point of importance here is that oscillation and 
shifting require time, and that, therefore, our summary of the 
symptoms must cover not merely the moment of time at which 
we observe the patient, but also some previous time during which 
the symptoms may have been different from those of the present 
time. This remark applies both to the drug and the case. It is 
necessary not simply for the purpose of getting a full picture of 
the case, but also to make certain that there is a complete 
parallelism between the case and the drug wc think of giving the 
patient. 

" Two lines, each an inch long, may appear to be parallel. If 
we would be certain whether or not they are so, let us project 



20 THERAPEUTICS OF FEVERS. 

each line until it is a foot long. We shall then more easily see 
the divergence or convergence if there be an}\ Just so, at some 
particular moment, the symptoms of a case and of a drug may 
appear to be very similar; but if we compare the succession and 
order of the symptoms, for the space of a day or two, with the 
succession and order of the drug symptoms, we may notice a 
marked difference. 

" This is illustrated by comparing the symptoms produced by 
two drugs in the healthy prover. There is a period in the action 
of each, when, to my mind, the symptoms of Aconite and Carbo 
vegetabilis are very similar, and yet, taking a broader view of 
these drugs, we can scarcely find any more unlike. 

' ' Shall I shock any of my hearers by stating this necessity for 
taking into consideration the course and succession of symptoms 
in selecting a remedy, and shall I be told that strict Homeopathy 
requires that a prescription shall be made for the symptoms that 
are present, the remed}' to change when the symptoms change? I 
believe that some conscientious physicians too closely follow this 
method — too closely for the best success. Let us take a practical 
instance; a case of intermittent fever. The patient has certain 
symptoms which precede and usher in the chill. Then, for two 
hours or more, he has the symptoms which constitute the chill; 
then, after an interval, those which constitute the hot stage; then 
those of the sweating stage; after which comes a period of from ten 
to forty hours, constituting the apyrexia, during which the patient 
probably may have some S}anptoms which serve to characterize 
his case, and individualize it. We may see the patient during 
one or all of these periods. ' His symptoms at the different times 
are certainly very different. Is it our custom, is it good practice, 
to give the patient a different remedy, corresponding to each of 
these stages; or, would the nicest faculty of selection lead us to 
select for each stage the same remedy, to which a survey of the 
whole case would bring us? The former is not our custom. It 
would not be good practice. We could not so select. On the 
contrary, we extend our lines of symptoms — unless they corre- 
spond with the complete paroxysm and apyrexia — and then we 
can judge of their parallelism. We seek a remedy which pro- 



THE SIMILIMUM. 21 

duces just such cold, hot and sweating stages, in just such order 
and with just such concomitant symptoms, and that likewise pro- 
duces such symptoms in the apyrexia. Do you point me to cases 
in which no such parallelism is found, and yet a successful pre- 
scription is made? I reply that, as I said at first, we are like the 
Israelites, and must make bricks whether we have straw or not. 
We must prescribe from our Materia Medica as it is. Where we 
can do no better, we must prescribe on a few symptoms, or an 
inference or an analogy, rather than refuse to prescribe at all. 
Yet nobody will deny the greater certainty of the prescription 
where such a parallelism can be established. In such a case then 
we follow the patient along a series of violent oscillations, between 
cold, heat, sweat, and the normal state again, and this we do, to 
a greater or less extent, in very many illnesses in which the oscil- 
lations are not so violent. I believe that a broad enough consid- 
eration of this subject would lead physicians to abstain from 
alternation of remedies even in the few instances in which Hahne- 
mann sanctioned it, and would deter them from the error, as I 
deem it, of leaving a patient several remedies to be taken, 
variously, as different phases of sensation or objective phenomena 
succeed each other. But to be able to prescribe in this large- 
viewed way for your patient, you must have studied the Materia 
Medica in the same comprehensive way; you must have studied 
the connection and succession of the symptoms. A mere reper- 
tory study for the case in hand will not suffice. * * * * * 
Seeking the means to cure the patient then, we look among drug 
provings for a similar series of phenomena. L,et us suppose that 
we find one, which corresponds pretty well. Not exactly, how- 
ever, for here are certain symptoms characteristic of that drug of 
which the patient has not complained. We examine the patient 
as regards those symptoms. No! his symptoms in that line are 
quite different. We try another similar drug, comparing its 
symptoms with the patient's, and questioning the patient still 
further; and thus comparing and trying proceed until we find a 
fit. This is a mental process, so expeditious sometimes that we 
are hardly aware how we engage in it. But it shows how difficult 
it is to take a case unless we have some knowledge of the Materia 



22 THERAPEUTICS OF FEVERS. 

Medica, and how much au extensive knowledge of the Materia 
Medica aids us in taking the ease; and this explains why the 
masters in our art have given us such model cases. 

" To cure an intermittent fever we must: 

i. Study the patient during the apyrexia. to 'form an exact 
idea of the functional action, regular or otherwise, of all the 
organs. 

2. Observe all the symptoms of the pyrexia in its three stages 
of cold, heat and sweat. 

3. Particularly note if a stage is absent, and which among them 
is the most marked. 

4. Expressly depend upon the bizarre, singular, exceptional 
phenomena, because they, above all, are characteristic, and figure 
in the first rank of the symptoms to which the drug must cor- 
respond in order to cure." — A. Charge, M. D. 

The more time and care devoted to a careful and thoughtful 
examination of the patient, the less guessing and alternating and 
changing of remedies afterwards; a case well taken is already half 
cured. The following:

THE POTENCY. 

The greatest calamity that in practice can befall a homeopathic 
physician, is to acquire a routine habit of thinking that a remedy 
can cure only certain conditions or diseases, and no others. This 
usually is the first step in a routine habit of prescribing, and 
keeps time and pace with that other habit of thinking that, " the 
potency I use is the only successful one." The objections that 
" there is no power in potentized drugs, hence I have never used 
them;'' or, "I do not believe they can possibly cure, or I would use 
them," or, "I cannot understand how they are made," are daily 
offered as objections by the allopath to our low potencies and even 
drop doses of the tincture. Truth is truth, whether we believe it 
or not. The potency, whether high or low, will never be affected 
in the slightest degree by such objections. Faith can have no 
place in science, where a fact can be demonstrated by experiment. 
The question of potency can only be settled by the experimental 
test; and every practitioner must make the experiment for him- 
self. Those who never use but one potency can never have any 
experimental knowledge of any other. Hahnemann asked to 
have his great discovery, under the rules he laid down, subjected 
to the test of practice, and the failures published to the world. 
Submit the potency question to the same test, write out the case, 
in extenso, with the remedy and potency, and publish the failures; 
the profession can then decide whether it was in the selection of 
the remedy used, or in the potency. Columbus had no difficulty 
in making the egg stand. The calling of hard names can neither 
decide the question, nor reconcile the conflicting views. In the 
interests of science, published facts, which bear on their face the 
stamp of reliability, should, both in justice to ourselves and our 
patients, be accepted as such, irrespective of potency, instead of 
being met with the weapons used by the contemporaries of Hahne- 
mann and Jenner. Hahnemann decreased the dose as he

adopt a better rule ?

Dunham says: " Nothing will gain the confidence of a patient 
so surely as success. His confidence, once gained by sticcess, can- 
not be shaken by the form of your dose ! Yes; it may though ! 
If he sees that while your doctrines require you to give small 
doses, you yet dissemble and juggle, and, by using large pills and 
lozenges and mixtures, try to make it appear that you are giving 
as large doses as your Old-School neighbor, he will suspect that 
3^our faith in the system you profess is not really strong, and he 
will have doubts of both you and your system. The sick man 
who feels that you are curing him, cares not a straw for the logi- 
cal improbabilities of your doctrines, nor for the scientific difficul- 
ties attending the explanation of the action of your little dose. 
Large or small — much or nothing — if under your auspices his 
health return, he will have faith equally in yourself and in your 
methods." 

" Patients are like soldiers; they believe in a man who believes 
in himself. We say this with all humility, for, in a matter of 
science, belief in one's self is faith in the laws one has undertaken 
to carry out in practice. And if the physician shows confidence in 
his methods, his patients will yield themselves implicitly to his 
guidance. The prejudice in favor of large and many doses is a 
relic of past ages, when the practitioner was paid, not for his skill 
and personal services, but for the medicines he furnished." 



CHARACTERISTIC. 25 

A homeopathic cure is as beneficial to our patients as an allo- 
pathic one; and if it be quicker, surer, safer, and more pleasant, 
wh)' not cure him homeopathically. 

CHARACTERISTIC. 

I am convinced that in the treatment of fevers, as well as of 
many other affections, we pay too much attention to the local 
manifestations of disease — to the local symptoms of the drug — 
and too little to the general symptoms of the patient and the con- 
stitutional action of the remedy. For this reason we fail to get a 
true picture of the disease — the totality of the symptoms, objective 
and subjective — and are apt to fall into the routine practice of 
treating the disease instead of the patient. This is especially true 
in that large class of chronic intermittents, in which the psora ol 
Hahnemann — the constitutional dyscrasiae of the German pa- 
thologists — becomes such an important factor. 

In "masked intermittents," also, where the character of the 
disease is not marked by the usual chill, heat, and sweat, our 
only guide is the constitutional symptoms of the pitient. In this 
way we may relieve a multitude of ailments, as well as intermit- 
tents, for whose local symptoms and tissue lesions we have as yet 
been unable to find an analogy in our drug provings. For this 
reason, and to make the book a more complete work of reference, 
I have added some of the leading peculiarities of each remedy 
under the term 
Characteristic: 

Which is defined in Organon, £ 153: 

In the search f')r a homeopathic specific reined}', Unit is to say, in the com- 
parison of the collective symptoms of the natural disease with the list of 
symptoms of known medicines, in order to find among these an artificial 
morbific agent corresponding by similarity to the disease to be cured, the 
more striking, singular, uncommon, and peculiar signs and symptoms of 
the case of disease are chiefly and almost solely to be kept in view; for it is 
more particularly these that very similar ones in the tist of symptoms of the 
Selected medicine must correspond to, in order to constitute it the most suit- 
able for effecting the cure. The more general and undefined symptoms: 
Loss of appetite, headache, debility, restless sleep, etc., demand hut little 
attention, when of that vague and indefinite character, if they cannot be 
more accurately described, as symptoms of such a general nature are ob- 
served in almost every disease and from almost every drug. 



26 THERAPEUTICS OF FEVERS. 

Dunham says: "The fact cannot be too often called to mind, 
nor too strongly insisted upon, that our most characteristic indi- 
cations for the use of a drug, which presents well-defined general 
symptoms, as Arsenic does, and indeed as every well proved drug 
does, are derived not from its local action upon any organ or 
system, not from a knowledge of the particular tissues it may 
affect, and how it affects them, but upon the general constitutional 
symptoms and their conditions and concomitants. If this were 
not so, in the presence of how many maladies, of the intimate 
nature of which we are wholly ignorant and which nevertheless 
we cure, should we be utterly powerless for good. 

" A case will serve to illustrate not merely this point but also 
another, viz.: the detection and treatment of what is sometimes 
called ' masked intermittents,' by which is meant a disease clearly 
resulting from marsh-malaria, but which nevertheless does not 
manifest itself by the customary paroxysm of chill, heat and 
perspiration, which constitute intermittent fever. 

"A precocious child in Dutchess Co., twelve years old, had 
complained for more than eighteen months of a severe pain in left 
ear. She was brought to my office for treatment, with the state- 
ment that for this affection she had been treated, both locally and 
constitutionally, for an inflammation 'of the middle ear, by some 
of the most distinguished surgeons of the city of New York but 
with no good result. I could discover no distinct signs of local 
lesion, but nevertheless supposed it to be a case of otalgia, and from 
a very close correspondence of the case, as described to me, with 
the symptoms of Chamomilla, gave that drug. She got no better. 
I then learned, that she had been under the care of a good hom- 
eopathic physician, who, if it had been simple otalgia, would 
surely have cured her. This fact induced me to scrutinize the 
case very carefully before I prescribed again. Visiting the patient 
repeatedly at her residence, at different times in the day, I found 
that the attacks of pain were regularly and distinctly paroxysmal; 
that they were attended by the peculiar thirst so characteristic of 
Arsenic, by the restlessness and anguish, and followed by the 
prostration, equally characteristic. Furthermore, concomitant 
symptoms of an Arsenic gastralgia and diarrhoea were also pres-

ent. It then occurred to me that this was probably a case of 
masked intermittent. The situation of the house and the topog- 
raphy of the neighborhood favored the idea. On the strength of 
the symptoms recited, I gave Arsenic 200. Within five days the 
pains had ceased to appear, but in their stead came a regular 
paroxysm of chill, fever and sweat, indicating the existence of 
quotidian intermittent fever. These paroxysms recurred for four 
days, gradually diminishing in intensity. They then ceased, 
leaving the patient well. 

" Whatever, then, may be the local name of the disease, what- 
ever pathological name it may bear, if the general symptoms cor- 
respond to those of Arsenic, in the way that I have pointed out, 
do not hesitate a moment to give that drug. ' ' 

THE CLINICAL CASES 

Of former editions have been replaced very largely by remedies. 
They were intended to illustrate the sphere of action, as well as 
the selection of the remedy, and at the same time dispel the 
delusion honestly entertained by many, "That patients will not 
wait for the homeopathic remedy to act, hence, must resort to 
Quinine " Patients wait for the prompt action of the homeo- 
pathic remedy in croup, cholera, diphtheria, dysentery, pneu- 
monia and yellow fever ! The remedy is not at fault; it acts just 
as promptly in fever as in any other disease. 

TYPHOID, TYPHUS, CONTINUED FEVERS. 

There is perhaps no disease the homeopathic physician is called 
to face, that has received more patient investigation, more care- 
taking scientific research, than typhoid fever and its allied affec- 
tions. From the time of Louis, Andral, Skoda, Rokitausky and 
Virchow in Kurope, to the more recent work of Wood, Flint, 
Osier, Raue and others in America, the entire field has been ap- 
parently we'll covered. In history, etiology, symptomatology, 
differential diagnosis and prognosis, all that could be revealed by 
the scalpel and the microscope has been found, all that thousands 
of autopsies could disclose has been seen. Yet the- brilliant re- 



28 THERAPEUTICS OF FEVERS. 

suits of these investigations — in which all rejoice, for they are the 
common heritage of the profession — augment pathology to the 
front rank, establish effects in place of causes, regard the prod- 
ucts of morbid action as the disease itself and on this " fatal 
error" and its resultant teaching is reared the fabric of thera- 
peutics. 

But why should the condition of the glandular structure of 
the ileum and its post-mortem revelations be considered the dis- 
ease, any more than the dry, cracked tongue, the sordes on the 
teeth and lips, the petechia, sudamina, decubitus or other ob- 
jective symptoms, quite as much the result of deranged vitality 
as the ulceration of Peyer's patches or the bacillus of Eberth? 
Future investigations will increase our knowledge and broaden 
our views of the pathology of typhoid, but the quick sands of an 
imperfect ever-changing pathology can never be the basis for a 
safe practice or a stable therapeutics This is corroborated by the 
fact that notwithstanding the discovery of the pathological lesion 
the mortality under the practice of the dominant school remains 
unchanged. With this fact staring us in the face, why should 
the professed homeopath abandon his law of cure — the thera- 
peutics of the Master— for the uncertainties of the schools? We 
can expect no better results from such treatment — the cold bath 
or ice pack to reduce the temperature, animal extracts and stimu- 
lants to maintain strength, etc. — than are obtained by other 
schools. The same methods must yield the same mortality. 

The law of similars points to a better way, a natural method of 
cure, and an unequaled success is vouchsafed to those who follow 
it; not to those who simply believe in it, but to those who obey its 
every mandate. The prescribing of homeopathic remedies for the 
pathological lesions of typhoid is very far from being homeopathic 
treatment. The nearer we approach allopathic methods, the more 
certainly we obtain their results; while the highest success and 
the lowest mortality are only to be attained by the accurate selec- 
tion of the similar remedy and strict compliance with the require- 
ments of law. 



THE ANAMNESIS. 29 



THE ANAMNESIS. 



In the Orgauon, §§ S3-104 inclusive, is to be found the most 
complete instruction for "the taking of the case" recorded in 
medical literature. It is the personal experience of the most astute 
and accurate observer the history of medicine has produced, and 
should be mastered and applied by the physician ere he under- 
takes the duties and assumes the responsibilities of a case of 
typhoid fever; for life often depends zcpon the first prescription. It 
is not often that the disease can be crushed by the first blow, for 
its cause may have been slumbering for months; but if the first 
remedy be the similimum the entire future course is compara- 
tively clear. Hence the first step, the complete and thorough 
examination of the patient, is the key to success, and is all-im- 
portant to both patient and physician. It was in this that the 
early giants, the pioneers of Homeopathy — Hahnemann, Gross, 
Bbnninghausen, Hering, L,ippe, Wesselhceft, Wells, Guernsey, 
Bayard and others — made their wonderful records and won their 
unparalleled success in the treatment of fevers. Here is zuhere the 
real cure- work is to be done. Too much weight cannot be laid 
upon this part of the first prescription nor too much time given it; 
it is the first element of success, its neglect the most frequent 
cause of failure in typhoid. 

Yet from an extended personal experience we are warranted in 
the assertion that not ten per cent, of the homeopathic profession 
have ever read, much less applied in practice, this most essen- 
tial instruction of Hahnemann, rules so vital to success that 
neglect of their strict observance is little less than criminal. A 
strict individualization is the key-stone of the homeopathic arch, 
and without it the selection of the similar remedy must be largely 
empirical. It is an axiom that neither Arsenic, Bryonia nor Rhus 
either singly, in combination, or alternation can ever check the 
course of a Baptisia typhoid; and this is equally true of every 
remedy in the Materia Medica. Natural law abhors substitution. 

It is also axiomatic that the similar remedy will cure, or cut 
short a typhoid or other fever in any stage; but it must be the 



30 THERAPEUTICS OF FEVERS. 

similar. Hence how essential that the taking of the case the 
first step in its selection be thoroughly done and " the symptoms 
committed to writing. ' ' Then the physician may know, not think, 
he has the similimum Unless the record be written the selection 
is difficult if not impossible; yet how few comply with this all- 
important first duty. 

If the first remedy be the similimum and it only palliates — 
relieves for a time but does not cure — the constitutional miasm 
has been overlooked or neglected and must be included in the 
totality of the symptoms in the next anamnesis. Study the 
family history. It has been truly said that Aconite, Belladonna 
or Mercury should not be given in typhoid, as it would mar the 
symptom picture and delay the cure; for these remedies rarely 
correspond with this type of fever. The same may be said of any 
remedy in the Materia Medica. It is the want of similarity, not 
the rtmedy that is at fault. 

At the close of Hahnemann's masterly instruction: " How to 
examine the sick," he says: ''''After the totality of symptoms has 
been committed to writing, the most difficult part is done." This 
has been so well expressed by Dr. P. P. Wells in his valuable 
work on Typhoid Fever, and endorsed by Dr. Carroll Dunham, 
that we reprint, even at the expense of repetition, for it is a page 
from the personal experience of an able clinician: 

The first duty of the physician in the treatment is ^.thorough examination 
of all the elements of his case. This cannot be too strongly insisted on, or 
too carefully performed. In no other disease is this so important, though it 
is indifferent in none. Having honestly discharged this duty, and ascer- 
tained not only that he has the fever to combat, but all the elements it now 
reveals, let him consider them well and carefully before he decides on his 
first prescription, and be positively sure that it is right before he ventures 
on the first dose, for no subsequent effort in the case is of equal importance. 
If the first prescription be wrong, no subsequent pains may be sufficient to 
remedy the consequences of the blunder. A confusion of the case from this 
source has often been realized which no skill could remove. If the first pre- 
scription be right all the subsequent course is comparatively easy. If wrong, 
there is only vexation, difficulty and anxiety before the physician ; and to 
the patient and his friends, it is too likely there is only a certain fearful 
looking for of pain, danger and death. Let it never be forgotten that time 
here is of no account, if the question be of time or a wrong prescription. 



the name: its use and abuse. 31 

Let whatever of time the case may require for accuracy be given to it, no 
matter to what extent, for it is infinitely better for the patient that we do 
nothing than that we do wrong. 

The exactly similar remedy once found should not be changed 
until the change of symptoms forms a new picture of the disease, 
to be again met by its similimum. The temptation sometimes is 
strong to change, or interpolate, or alternate another remedy to 
meet a new symptom or an apparently new condition, and every 
honest physician intent on doing the best for his patient will 
have to meet it. Here is where Hahnemann's insistence on a 
written record becomes invaluable, for a single symptom is no 
more the entire disease than a single organ is the entire patient. 
If the first remedy was selected because it covered the totality of 
symptoms it must have been right, and should be allowed time 
to act, as a premature or hasty change generally would be made 
without due study of the entire case for a remedy less similar, 
hence less appropriate, and the result would be a serious if not a 
fatal injury to the patient with bitter regret for the physician 
when it was too late to correct the error. Hahnemann and every 
true follower learned this rule of practice after years of experience; 
let us begin where they left off and profit by their errors. This 
rule applies to the treatment of all diseases, acute and chronic, 
but more especially to typhoid than any other acute disease. 

Typhoid like all other ailments is prone to develop from ex- 
posure to any depressing or exhausting morbid influence, either 
mental or physical, when the vital force is least able to 
resist the onset. Hence at puberty, when vitality is weakened 
by or expended in a rapid growth, susceptibility is greater and 
resistance less, an attack of continued fever is to be dreaded and 
extra vigilance on the part of the physician is demanded. The 
same is true at the climacteric, and from the severe mental strain 
of business and financial reverses. 

THE NAME: ITS USE AND ABUSE. 

Typhoid (low, stupor) fever is designated by groups of symp- 
toms which appear sporadically, epidemically, sometimes annually, 
and assume the type to which this name is given. 



32 THERAPEUTICS OF FEVERS. 

Typhus, a more severe form — ship-fever, camp-fever, war- 
typhus, etc. — more contagious and malignant, due to bad sanita- 
tion where persons already exhausted by exposure, ill-treatment, 
etc., are crowded together in ill-ventilated rooms or prisons, tene- 
ment houses, holds of vessels, or when some chronic organic 
disease assumes a febrile type. 

The groups of symptoms by which we name the fever are 
termed diagnostic ; those by which we select the remedy thera- 
peutic. The more valuable the symptoms for the purpose of 
diagnosis the more worthless they become for therapeutics; for 
the diagnostic are based on the name— the pathology— which we 
do not treat, the therapeutic on the characteristics of each indivi- 
dual patient. 

Hahnemann says, Organon, note \ 73 : The homeopathic physician does 
not acknowledge the names gaol fever, bilious fever, typhus fever, putrid 
fever, nervous fever or mucous fever, but cures all these diseases individually 
according to the symptoms they present, their several peculiarities. 

While we have no "specifics" for typhoid, typhus or any other 
fever, any remedy in the Materia Medica may be called for by the 
individuality of the patient. In some epidemics the same remedy 
may for a time fit many cases— be the genus epidemicus— but 
under the law of similars we cannot have a remedy for the patho- 
logical name of any fever. The name of so-called bilious, 
typhoid or typhus is utterly worthless for the selection of the 
remedy. That our friends of other schools prescribe for the fever, 
the name, is the best possible reason why we as homeopaths 
should follow the opposite course, should be guided by our 
principles, for we wish to obtain different results. Still we can 
never neglect pathology. We need it just as we need anatomy, 
physiology, sanitary science; we need it for prognosis, sanitation, 
dietetics, quarantine, but not as a factor in the selection of the 
curative agent. Symptomatic pathology must be made more 
comprehensive so as to include the constitutional miasms of 
Hahnemann, for appendicitis, diabetes and Bright' s diseases in 
man are perhaps as often due to sycosis as pelvic cellulitis and 
salpingitis in woman. 



THE TRUE CAUSE OF TYPHOID. 33 



THE TRUE CAUSE OF TYPHOID. 

Since the first edition of "Intermittent Fever," more than 
twenty years ago, the author has devoted much time to the 
investigation of the true cause of typhoid. The labor has been 
expended in the therapeutic verification of the truth of Hahne- 
mann's theory of chronic diseases in the line of symptomatic 
pathology, until the suspicions of former years have ripened into 
the conviction that when he promulgated his psoric theory he 
" builded better than he knew." He did not fully realize that he 
had made a discovery in therapeutics co-equal with the law of 
cure and the dynamic remedy. Neither did he even dream that 
as valuable and indispensable in the cure of chronic diseases as 
his psoric theory has become, it is of even more value in the 
management of acute diseases. 

The author has verified its truth in hundreds of cases, all forms 
and types of acute and chronic disease, especially in all types of 
fevers, and in the last twenty years has not seen a case of con- 
tinued fever of any type — from mild ague to malignant hemor- 
rhagic typhoid and typhus — that has not occurred in a patient 
with a psoric or tubercular history. And the more pronounced 
the psoric miasm (diathesis, dyscrasia), the more severe and 
fatal the disease. The more the vital force (vitality) is weakened 
by the psoric and tubercular diathesis, the more susceptible the 
patient becomes to all external dynamic morbid influences, and 
consequently the less the vital resistance to the onset of typhoid 
or other fevers; and this may be equally true of sycosis and 
syphilis. 

Still, ever since its publication in 1830, Hahnemann's work on 
chronic diseases, like the law of cure and the dynamic remedy, 
has met with ridicule and vituperation from the dominant school, 
and we regret to say the majority of professed homeopaths have 
neither examined its truth, demonstrated its falsity, nor accepted 
its teaching. And strange as it may seem in both schools of 
practice, those who have studied it least, and know little or noth- 
ing of its practical value in the cure of the sick, have been its 
3

most bitter opponents. Will this attempt to introduce and apply 
it in acute diseases meet a similar reception ? 
Hahnemann defines these acute diseases in: 

Organon, § 73. As to acute diseases, they may be classed under two dis- 
tinct heads. They first attack single individuals, and arise from some per- 
nicious exciting cause to which the}* have been exposed. Errors in diet, 
either excess in eating or drinking, or a want of proper food, severe physical 
impressions, extremes of cold or heat; fatigue, dissipation, strains, etc.; 
psychical irritations, severe mental emotions, are the most frequent causes. 
But in reality they are generally only a transitory outburst, an explosion of 
a latent psoric affection, which returns to its former dormant state when the 
acute affection is not too violent, or when it has been promptly cured. 

In the Organon and Chronic Diseases Hahnemann mentions 
only three constitutional miasms or diatheses — sycosis, syphilis, 
and psora — including under the latter what we know at present as 
the tubercular diathesis, which, while an aggravated form of 
psora, the later investigations in pathology and the discovery of 
the tubercular bacillus entitle it to the rank of another and a dis- 
tinct miasm, dyscrasia or diathesis with which we have to deal 
in acute affections. Sporadic influenza, so-called L,a Grippe, is 
generally an " outburst " of a latent tubercular diathesis. 

This psora is the only real, true and fundamental cause that produces all 
the other countless forms of disease, which under the names of nervous de- 
bility, hysteria, hemicrania, hypochondriasis, mania, melancholia, madness, 
imbecility, epilepsy, and convulsions of all kinds, rickets, caries, softening 
of the bones, cancer, fungus hematodes, malignant organic growths, gravel, 
calculus, gout, hemorrhoids, jaundice, drops}-, cyanosis, amenorrhcea, dys- 
menorrhcea, hemorrhage from the nose, lungs, stomach, kidneys, bladder, 
bowels, uterus, of astbma and ulceration of the lungs, of impotence and 
sterility, megrim, deafness, amaurosis, cataract, paralysis, defects or loss of 
the senses, pains of every kind, etc., appear in our works on pathology as 
peculiar, distinct, and independent diseases. — Organon, $80. 

An outburst of latent psora may, according to the exciting 
cause, produce any acute disease, any form of fever. Hence the 
value of a well taken anamnesis; for a patient in whose personal 
or family history any of these diseases may be traced, or who has 
a record of asthma, hay fever, croup, bronchitis, pneumonia, 
appendicitis, peritonitis, eczema, or other skin disease, either active 
or suppressed; erysipelas, glandular swellings, tonsilitis, quinsy, 



THE TENDENCY TO RELAPSE. 35 

especially at change of seasons; acne, catarrh, otorrhoea, typhoid 
or other fevers, or a marked susceptibility to every epidemic in- 
fluence, has this constitutional dyscrasia. A person whose vital 
force is handicapped by a psoric inheritance is peculiarly suscepti- 
ble to psychic impressions. Here a severe mental shock, anger, 
chagrin, fear, mortification, grief, financial reverses, loss of honor 
or reputation, all dynamic in character, may convert a mild into a 
severe or even fatal typhoid. And thus far science has no instru- 
ment sufficiently delicate to measure a dynamis which would 
have little or no effect on a healthy individual. 

THE TENDENCY TO RELAPSE. 

The tendency to relapse is found in all acute diseases, and in 
most fevers this " outburst of latent psora " assumes a periodicity 
— occurring every 3, 5, 7, 14, 2r, 28 days — and pertains to the 
patient, not the fever. In the mild forms it is this periodic return 
of the paroxysm to which the name quotidian, quartan, tertian, 
etc., has been given; in typhoid, typhus and some malarial fevers 
the relapse assumes a weekly or monthly aggravation. 

The first prescription selected for the totality of the symptoms 
of any febrile attack may be Aconite, Arnica, Baptisia, Bella- 
donna. Gelsemium, Rhus, etc., and may not only remove the 
group for which it was given, but apparently restore the health 
of the patient when the original cause which still remains uncared 
for produces a return of fever. 

As the falling apple arrested the attention of Newton, this re- 
lapsing tendency of acute diseases set Hahnemann thinking, and 
he says: 

I spent twelve years in investigating the source of this incredibly large 
number of chronic affections, in ascertaining and collecting certain proofs 
of this great truth, which had remained unknown to all former or contem- 
porary observers ; to establish the basis of its demonstration and find out at 
tin- same time the principal anti-psoric remedies. — Organon, foot note, £8o. 

After the first relapse, when the symptoms arc taken for the 
second prescription, the lines of comparison must be extended so 
as to include the miasm — the inherited tendency— and the family 
history should be carefully examined, for here will be found the

key with which to unlock this tendency. It may be appen- 
dicitis, typhlitis, quinsy, croup, pneumonia, ague or typhoid fever; 
the name is not important, the patient is everything. It may be 
and often is Sulphur in which "complaints that are continually 
relapsing " is a marked characteristic. When Sulphur or the best 
selected remedy fails to relieve or permanently improve, Psorinum 
or Tuberculinum, selected upon the symptoms and peculiarities of 
the family history and inherited diathesis, will cut short the acute 
attack and prevent a future relapse. This has been verified in 
scores of patients and all forms and types of fever and is entirely 
reliable. It is one of the most precious gifts bequeathed us by 
the genius of Hahnemann; but, like his theory of chronic diseases, 
it may never be applied in typhoid or other fevers, and for the 
same reason, viz., we do not believe it, hence we will not investi- 
gate it; and we will not investigate it because we do not believe it. 

The author's attention was first called to the use of the anti- 
psoric remedy in typhoid by a case in the American Homeopathic 
Review, by Dr. P. P. Wells, in 1863. But it was not until 1876 
that the hint was put into practice. The following is the case: 

A girl, aged 10, light complexion, slender, mixed nervous and lymphatic 
temperament, whose mother had frequent attacks of facial erysipelas, and 
the father was psoric or scrofulous. There was in the early stage no notable 
characteristic, except the rapidity with which the case reached the state 
usually met in the last stage of the severe forms of the fever. On the sixth 
day, through an uninterrupted downward course, the patient had come to 
insensibility; profound coma with staring eyes; involuntary unnoticed evacu- 
ations of feces and urine; subsultus; when the eyes were open reaching after 
objects and picking at the bed clothes; entire loss of hearing and apparently 
of sight; diarrhoea, liquid, brownish and very offensive; pulse 130, small, 
weak, quick. In consultation with Dr. A. F. Haynel, on whose advice the 
patient got four globules of Psorinum 30. In twelve hours, having had no 
other dose, and no other medicine, she answered questions loudly put, the 
diarrhoea was less frequent, the pulse 120. The dose was permitted to act, 
and the improvement progressed for fort3'-eight hours, when she again be- 
came insensibly with involuntary evacuations and an increase of the remain- 
ing symptoms, though slighter than before Psorinum was taken. She now 
got Sulphur 3d cent, a half grain. The improvement was prompt, the con- 
valescence rapid and complete. No other dose of medicine was required or 
given. 



SANITATION— THE SICK ROOM. ' 37 



SANITATION— THE SICK ROOM. 

The sanitary surroundings of the fever patient cannot be too 
scrupulously guarded. The temperature, as far as possible, 
should be adapted to the comfort of the sick, the room freely 
ventilated in the day time, especially when the sun shines, and at 
all times an abundance of fresh, pure air maintained. Other 
things being equal, a room with a southern exposure is prefer- 
able. If a cool, or even a cold, room should be preferred by the 
patient, the attendants and nurses should protect themselves with 
sufficient clothing; for if there be a rule as to temperature it is 
that which is most grateful to the patient. 

To disinfect the room flood it with fresh air, protecting the 
patient from drafts and undue exposure. The so-called disin- 
fectants in general use — Chloride of Lime, Carbolic Acid, Piatt's 
Chlorides, etc. — are a chemical abomination, worse than useless, 
often positively injurious. It is a bungling attempt to destroy a 
theoretical germ by chemical agents, and should never be per- 
mitted in the sick room. If other disinfectant than pure air be 
required, the similar dynamic remedy meets every requirement of 
science. 

Bathing is essential in every stage of typhoid, especially during 
the fever exacerbation. The warm or tepid bath is most bene- 
ficial and generally most grateful. The bath cloth or wet towel, 
not a sponge, should be used; and if very sensitive or perspiring, 
under the clothes. Never use the cold or ice bath to reduce the 
temperature; it is always harmful, often fatal. 

The bedding should be well aired and frequently changed, as 
quietly and gently as possible. 

Never waken a sleeping patient; but never forget that the 
stupor of delirium is not sleep. 

Hering says: Tubs or pans of water under the bed will, in most 
cases, prevent decubitus. Try it. 

The wet compress — cold or warm, as the patient prefers — on the 
abdomen, when painful or sensitive to touch, will be both grate- 
ful and beneficial. I generally apply a towel wet with cold water 



38 THERAPEUTICS OF FEVERS. 

and wrung dry over the abdomen or around the body in this 
region, covered with dry woolen cloth to protect the clothing and 
retain the heat, and allow it to remain until it dries before renew- 
ing or changing. In a few minutes it becomes warm and grate- 
ful, often bringing refreshing sleep to a nervous patient. 

THE DIET OF THE TYPHOID. 

"All roads lead to Chicago." Every physician, irrespective 
of the school of practice or the condition of the patient, has a 
favorite diet on which he relies in typhoid. The conditions and 
indications are essentially the same in all cases, viz., the diseased 
mucous membrane of the digestive tract and the ancient academic 
demands of the schools to "sustain the strength of the patient" 
until the fever expends its force or runs it course. Apparently 
the diet of fever patients, one of the most essential factors in the 
treatment, is without rule, reason or science; although nature's 
indications are as clear and her demands as imperative as the law 
of similars in therapeutics, or of gravitation in astronomy. 

Absolute rest of the digestive organs is just as necessary for 
safe and speedy recovery in continued fevers as it is in iritis, in 
a surgical wound or in a broken bone. If food can neither be di- 
gested nor assimilated enforced feeding is very unwise, to use no 
stronger term. No fever patient will starve for want of food that 
cannot be appropriated. 

Nature endeavors to make this plain. She points to the heavily- 
coated or dry, parched tongue, the complete revulsion at the sight 
or even the smell of food, the rapid pulse and rise in temperature 
after eating, with entire loss of appetite, as a protest against the 
custom which is worse than useless; in fact, it may be the straw 
that overpowers the vital force and hastens what we are trying to 
prevent, a fatal issue. We do not compel the inflamed eye toper- 
form its duties, when light, its normal pabulum, only irritates the 
organ; we order a dark room and absolute rest. Then why force 
the sensitive and inflamed glandular structure of the digestive 
tract to work when it is incapable of performing its functions, or 
when even a partial attempt may produce severe irritation, a 
troublesome relapse or a fatal hemorrhage ? 



THE DIET OF THE TYPHOID. 39 

Pure water, ad libitum, is the best and safest diet for the fever 
patient, until the tongue is clean, the appetite — nature's call for 
food — returns, and the pulse and temperature are nearly normal. 
The best results are generally obtained by hot water if it can be 
taken; if luke-warm, it often nauseates. Cracked ice or melted 
ice is injurious, and if cold water is given the patient it should be 
cooled by ice around the outside of the vessel. Ice water should 
not be used internally or externally in typhoid, typhus or yellow 
fever. 

This diet may, and sometimes does, become monotonous, when 
it may be varied to suit the taste of the patient by adding the 
juice of orange, grape, raspberry, strawberry, watermelon, cur- 
rent, etc., but not lemon or vinegar. As the tongue cleans and 
appetite returns rice water, unseasoned dried apple water, or 
toast water may be allowed. Stale bread well toasted should be 
put into boiling water while hot and allowed to cool in an earthen 
vessel. Barley, cracked wheat, or oatmeal gruel well cooked 
may be allowed later. The late Dr. Woodruff, of Detroit, fed his 
fever patients on codfish water. The so-called Extract or Es- 
sence of Beef is an abomination, contains no nourishment for the 
typhoid patient, is always injurious and harmful, and in typhus 
and yellow fever often fatal. Alcoholic stimulants are rarely 
advisable, although Hering recommends pure American or Hun- 
garian wine during convalescence, but prohibits port. It is a 
better and safer practice however, to correct abnormal hunger or 
a total want of appetite by the indicated medicine rather than by 
diet or stimulants. The abnormal cravings of the fever patient 
may be at times the guiding characteristic of the case, and like the 
cravings of pregnancy, the drug habitue or the alcoholic should 
be corrected by the similar remedy rather than by indulgence, 
which is not always safe. 



THERAPEUTICS OF FEVERS. 



ACONITUM NAPELLUS. 



Characteristic. — Aconite is most frequently indicated in 
recent cases occurring in young persons, especially girls of a 
full plethoric habit, who lead a sedentary life ; persons easily 
affected by atmospheric changes ; dark hair and eyes, rigid 
muscles. 

Complaints from exposure to dry, cold air ; dry north or 
west winds (land winds) ; drafts of air while in a perspira- 
tion ; bad effects of checked perspiration. 

On rising from a recumbent posture, the red face becomes 
deathly pale, or he becomes faint or giddy and falls over ; he 
fears to rise again ; often accompanied by vanishing of sight 
and unconsciousness. 

Great fear and anxiety of mind, with great nervous 
excitability ; afraid to go out, to go into a crowd where there 
is any excitement or many people, to cross a street. 

His countenance is expressive of fear ; his life is rendered 
miserable by it; is sure his disease will prove fatal ; predicts 
the day he will die ; fear of death during pregnancy. 

This mental anxiety, worry, fear accompanies the most 
trivial ailment. 

Music is unbearable, makes her sad (Sab. — during menses, 
Nat. c). 



42 ACONITUM NAPELLUS. 

Restless, anxious, does everything in great haste ; must 
change position often ; everything startles him. 

Hahnemann says : " Whenever Aconite is chosen homeo- 
pathically, you must, above all, observe the moral symptoms, 
and be careful that it closely resembles them ; the anguish of 
mind and body ; the restlessness ; the disquiet not to be 
allayed." 

Aggravation. — In the evening and night the pains are insup- 
portable; in a warm room; when rising in bed; lying on affected 
side (Hep., Nux m.). 

Amelioration. — During the day; in the open air (Alum., 
Mag. c, Puis., Sab.); while at rest (except at night in bed); 
after perspiration; from wine. 

Relation. — Aconite is the acute of Sulphur, and both pre- 
cedes and follows it in acute inflammatory conditions. 

Abuse of Aconite requires Sulphur. 

Type. — Quotidian; quartan. No regularity; periodicity not 
marked. Apt to become synochal, or inflammatory symptoms 
with congestion of local organs, as head and chest, may form a 
complication. 

Time. — Usually in the evening. 

Cause. — Dry, cold north or west winds; hot days and cool 
nights; getting wet (Dulc, Rhus); suppressed perspiration by 
uncovering or sitting in a draft; by fright; rheumatic exposure. 

Chill. — Ascends from feet to chest, with internal heat and sen- 
sation of hot water in the head; chilly when uncovered or eveti 
touched ; chilliness on the slightest movement, even by lifting of bed 
clothes (Nux); cold sensation in blood vessels (Ars., Rhus). 

Coldness, with redness and heat of one, coldness and pale- 
ness of the other cheek (Cham., Ipec). Chill with one hot 
cheek; contracted pupils; anxiety; or body chilly, with red face, 
hot cheeks, hot forehead and ear lobules ; face hot, hands and feet 
cold. Chill in extremities to head and face ; heat, vice versa. 

Heat. — With thirst. Toivards evening, dry heat in the face, 
■with anxiety ; high fever ; dry, burning heat, which extends 



ACONITUM NAPELLUS. 43 

from head and face; burning heat, with cbilly shiverings running 
up the back. Great fear ; nervous excitability ; RESTLESSNESS 
and anxious tossing about; excessive anguish and oppression. 
Cough during heat, with palpitation and pleuritic stitches in the 
chest (cough during chill and heat, Bry. — cough before and dur- 
ing the chill, Rhus). Red face while lying, and pale face a?id 
fainting when rising up. Great thirst for large quantities of 
water ; everything else tastes bitter (thirst for large quantities in 
every stage, Bry., Nat. m. — only during heat, Ipec). Can not 
bear to be covered, yet fears to be uncovered (Camph., Sec). 
Long lasting d?y heat. 

Sweat. — Must be covered as soon as sweat begins ; covered or 
affected parts sweat most profusely (Ant. t.) or perspiration only 
on side on which he lies (Cinch., Nit. ac); sweat on single parts 
only (Bry.). Profuse warm perspiration over whole body, by 
which nervous excitability, restlessness and anxiety are relieved 
(sweat brings relief of all suffering, Nat. m.). General warm 
steaming sweat. Most on parts covered. Profuse during sleep. 
Worse while sweating. 

Tongue. — Coated white; papillae red and elevated. "Straw- 
berry tongue." 

Pulse. — During chill, intermittent, threadlike; during heat, 
quick, full, hard, bounding. Cold sensation in the blood vessels. 

Apyrexia. — Never clear. Loss of appetite; sleep restless and 
disturbed by dreams; very anxious about recovery; weak and ex- 
hausted by slightest exertion, either mental or physical. 

Is rarely indicated, per se, as the remedy to cure. Cause, often 
the characteristic indication; then it acts promptly and cures per- 
manently. 

Unless indicated by the exciting cause, is nearly always injuri- 
ous in the early stages of typhoid. 

"Aconite is never given first to subdue the fever, and then 
some other remedy to meet the case; never to be alternated with 
other drugs for the purpose of controlling the fever. If the fever 
be such as to require Aconite, no other drug is needed. If other 
drugs seem to be indicated, one should be sought which meets the 



44- ACONITUM XAPELLUS— ACTEA RACEMOSA. 

fever as well; for many drugs beside Aconite produce fever, each 
after his kind " — Dunham, I, p. 87. 

Analysis. — Cause; nearly always guiding; exposure to dry, 
cold winds, drafts of air, effects of checked perspiration, getting 
wet when heated. 

Chill.— From extremities to chest and head; one cheek red and 
hot, the other cold and pale (Cham., Nux); < slightest move- 
ment or lifting of bed clothes (Nux). 

Heat. — Skin dry and hot ; face red, or pale and red alter- 
nately; burning thirst for large quantities of cold water; intense 
nervous restlessness, tossing about in agony ; becomes intol- 
erable towards evening and on going to sleep; long lasting. 

Sweat. — Must be covered soon as it begins. 

"Aconite will sometimes be found serviceable in relieving op- 
pression of the heart and respiration, when this is great during the 
paroxysm. It is the one exception to the rule which requires the 
remedy for this fever to be given in the intermission. Where this 
oppression is great, and the other symptoms do not contradict it, 
a few pellets of the appropriate potency may be dissolved in 
water and a teaspoonful given every fifteen, twenty or thirty 
minutes, according to the symptoms, till relief is obtained. This, 
if the remedy be in place, will not impede the action of the spe- 
cific remedy for the case. 

This remedy will be the more appropriate if the oppression be ac- 
companied by the characteristic loud complaining, and the equally 
characteristic fear of death." — Dr. Geo. H. Clark. 



ACTEA RACEMOSA. 

Characteristic. — Anxious, indifferent, melancholic, taci- 
turn. 

Sensation as if a heavy black clotid had settled all over her 
and enveloped her head so that all is darkness and confusion. 

Delirium : with nausea, retching, dilated pupils ; incessant 
talking, changing from one subject to another ; saw wires en-

In France, during the continental wars of the Empire, the 
blo kade of the European ports by the English navy was so rigid 
that Peruvian bark — the recognized specific for intermittent fever 
— was effectually excluded. 

It was during this time that a vigorous search by the faculty 
for a substitute for bark, brought into experimental use many 
remedies, and among others Arsenic and yEsculus.

published a large number of cures obtained by the bark of the 
horse-chestnut. Dr. Ranque reports 43 cases; Dr. Cazin 2 cases

spring (Kali s.). 

Amelioration. — Cold open air; sitting upright; eructations; 
expectoration; lying on right side (Tab.). 

Type. — Quotidian; tertian; quartan. Apt to become remit- 
tent or typhoid. Epidemics of winter or early spring. In tertiati 
fever attacks anticipate several hours. Yellow fever. 

Time. — 9 a. m., severe rigor without shaking. 3 P. M., or 
evening at 6 p. m. All periods ; no regularity. 

Cause. — Rheumatic exposure, living or working in cellars or 
basements, underground habitation or employment. 

Prodrome. — Yawning and stretching (Cinch., Eup.). When 
gaping, mouth remains open for a while, could not shut it. 

Chill and Heat, without thirst, alternating during the day 
(Ars. — chill and sweat, or sweat and heat alternating, Ant. c). 
Chill as if cold water were dashed over one (Rhus), with goose- 
flesh, gaping, want of thirst; drowsiness following heat with dull- 
ness in head. Chill with trembling and shaking over whole body. 
Backache with the chill. He looks pale and is so chilly on going 
into the open air that he trembles (chilly when going from open 
air into a room, Ars. — see Rhus). Cold skin. Trembli?ig a?id 
chilliness always from within outward. Short chill and long lasting 



ANTIMONIUM TARTARICUM. 65 

heat, with somnolency and profuse sweat on forehead. Chill with 
external coldness, coming on at all times of the da}', with somno- 
lency; mostly with trembling and shaking. Chill lasting 45 min- 
utes followed by vomiting, headache, heat and thirst; after drink- 
ing, retching. 

Heat. — Violent short heat succeeding a long chill, aggravated by 
every ??iotio?i (feels chilly if he moves, Nux, Apis). Thirst not 
constant during the hot stage, but marked between heat and 
sweat. Heat long and severe with much sweat, intense thirst and 
delirium, sometimes occurs in tertian type. 

Sweat. — Profuse all over; may last all night; follows long after, 
in the afternoon during the sleep, or profuse sweat the following 
night, with increased secretion of urine. Affected parts sweat 
profusely (Amb.). Sweat often, cold, clammy, sticky; < by 
sweating, but rather better after (Ipec).

nate streaks; papillae red and raised as in scarlatina; tongue 
bright red and dry in the centre, covered with a thick, white, 
pasty fur. Food tasteless; tobacco has no taste. Craving desire 
for apples; acids (desire for juicy fruits, Ver.). 

Pulse.— Much accelerated by slightest motion; strong and full 
during chill; feeble, slow and very weak as the heat passes off. 

Apyrexia. — The gastric, rheumatic, soporous character of the 
intermittents of Antimonium tart, will not fail to call our atten- 
tion to this polychrest. In spring and autumn, especially with 
children, fevers are prone to take on a remitting type, attended 
with nausea, vomiting and drowsiness. Gastric symptoms are 
very pronounced, as in Antimonium crud. Nausea and vomiting 
may be present; if so, it is very prostrating. Weakness and ex- 
haustion, with great depression of spirits. Weariness and lassi- 
tude with no appetite. 

Analysis. — Working or living in basements or damp under- 
ground rooms fArs. , Aran.). 

During paroxysm, cannot keep his eyes open; irresistible sleepi- 
ness and deep, stupefied sleep; when azvake, hopelessness and de- 
spair.

if any thirst, usually during the heat. 

A Case. — A teamster 43 years old, 6 feet 2 inches in height, and well 
developed, never been sick before, slept on some straw on the bar-room 
floor in Frankfurt, on a winter night. In the moxvawgfelt stiff in his limbs, 
tired and sick. Chill began at 7 p. m., and lasted till precisely 8 in the 
morning, every day at same hour, without heat or sweat, with cough, loss of 
appetite, sleeplessness, and great exhaustion, which distressed him most 
because it interfered with his occupation. Being yet unskilled in Homeop- 
athy, and not having the least confidence in it in fever and ague, I gave him 
two-grain doses of Quinine every two hours at first, then every hour during 
the day, until he had taken forty powders without the least improvement; 
on the contrary, his general weakness had increased. I now consulted the 
original provings, and found that according to the law of similarity Aranea 
diadema must be the remedy. He received five drops of second dec. attenua- 
tion every hour. Next day the patient exclaimed: " Now you have hit the 



ARNICA MONTANA — ARANEA DIADEM A. 73 

right medicine; after the second hour I felt warmth again in my whole body, 
and the first time for three weeks I slept some hours at night again, without 
any chill." The cure was complete in six days, and for seventeen years he 
had no relapse. — Grauvogi,, p. 204. 

Like many of our colleagues of the present day, Grauvogl's lack 
of confidence in homeopathic treatment of fever and ague (in his 
early investigations) was only equaled by his imperfect knowl- 
edge (at that time) of the true curative sphere of Quinine in the 
same disease. Here was a fever with chill prolonged and pre- 
dominant; heat and sweat absent. It could 'never be cured by 
Quinine, which has all three stages, but particularly heat and 
sweaty prominently developed. Possibly, owing to its rheumatic 
character, Quinine would not seem even to suppress it, and there 
certainly was enough given (80 grs. ) to fairly test its suppressing 
power. 

Case No. II. — A tall, robust, heavily bearded man who, from the nature 
of his business, was exposed to all sorts of weather. For weeks past> 
though feeling tolerably well throughout the day, attending regularly to his 
daily round of duties, every night, as soon as he stepped into bed, he was 
seized with a severe chill which lasted perhaps for two hours, followed by 
heat but no sweat. Thinking the cold sheets upon which he lay had some- 
thing to do with it he substituted blankets, but without improvement- 
Aranea with its remarkable symptoms, "toothache every day at same 
hour" loomed up before me, and here was a similar one, " Chill as soon as 
he touches the bed,'" and Aranea 30, a dose night and morning for four days- 
Chills ceased after the fourth dose, and no relapse. — C. C. Smith, M. D., 
Horn. Phys., vol. 5, p. 236.

clothes, or even moving in bed, makes him chilly (Apis, Nux, 
Rhus, same in all stages of paroxysm). Great internal heat, 
with coldness of hands and feet. The heat becomes intolerable 
to him (Apis, Puis.), and he tries to uncover himself, but upon 
uncovering he feels chilly. Dry heat over the whole body after

Apyrexia. — Headache, soreness and bruised feeling of muscles 
continue; eructations tasting like rotten eggs. Yellow face; 
bitter taste; aversion to meat; and, especially in chronic cases, 
debility and aversion to exercise. The apyrexia is not marked in 
recent attacks, but is always a characteristic in chronic cases 
where large quantities of Quinine have been taken, then the sore- 
ness and bruised feeling are always indicative. 

All three stages, chill, heat, and sweat are well marked; and in 
each stage the same characteristic of the remedy is usually found. 



ARNICA MONTANA.

Arnica. 

Prodrome. — Drawing pains as if 
in the periosteum. 

Thirst. — For large quantities of 
cold water, which refreshes him. 

Chill. — With thirst, pain in mus- 
cles of back and extremities, as if 
bruised; great soreness of whole

soreness of flesh; must lie down, yet 
bed feels too hard; he cannot find a 
soft place and keeps constantly 
changing position in search of one.

cent attacks. In old cases, sour, 
and offensive. 



Apyrexia. — Bruised feeling and 
soreness continue through every 
stage, and persist during apyrexia. 



Eup. perf. 

Prodrome. — Pain in back and 
bones of extremities, as if broken. 

Thirst. — He cannot drink enough, 
but drinking hastens chill, and pro- 
duces nausea. 

CM11.— With thirst, but drinking 
causes nausea. Headache, with in- 
tense pain in back and bones, as if 
broken. 

Heat. — Less thirst, but increased 
cephalalgia and bone pains. Vomit- 
ing of bitter bile before heat begins 
(Lye, sour vomiting). 

Sweat. — Generally absent, scanty 
if any. Headache continues for sev- 
eral hours after fever is gone; sweat 
relieves all pains except cephalalgia 
(all pains, Nat. m.). 

Apyrexia. — Bone pains begin be- 
fore the chill, but disappear with dis- 
appearance of sweat. None in 
apyrexia. Loose cough; night- 
sweats. 



In the Materia Medica Pura, Hahnemann recommends Arnica 
as a remedy, that in its pathogenesis corresponds with the Ouinia 
cachexia; and clinical experience for many years has confirmed 
his observation. Arnica is probably more freqnently indicated in 
cases maltreated with Quinine than any other remedy; and here 
lies its chief value in the treatment of fevers. It is also a fact, 
that in acute cases, where Arnica is indicated, relapses are more 
frequent perhaps than with any other indicated remedy. It 
apparently antidotes the previous mal-treatment, but some other 
remedy is required to complete the cure. The patient does not 
feel well, but can scarcely tell why, and in four or five days has 
another paroxysm. This paroxysm, however, will differ ma- 
terially from the preceding ones, Arnica having apparently paved 
the way for Apis, Arsenicum, Ipecac, or Natrum muriaticum 
(which follow Arnica well) to complete the cure. Arnica is often 



78 ARNICA MONTANA— ARSENICUM ALBUM. 

the best remedy with which to begin the treatment of a ease mal- 
treated by Quinine or patent ' ' ague cures. ' ' Psorinum or Sulphur 
may prevent tendency to relapse. 

The "key note" of Arnica is the same in fevers as in all 
other diseases (Quinine drugging always an additional indica- 
tion), viz.: Bruised, sore, weary ; great weakness, and must 
lie down in consequence, yet bed feels too hard ; hence fre- 
quent change of position in search of a soft place, which 
may cause pain. In old cases, where Arnica is indicated, the 
symptoms of apyrexia should be carefully studied. 

Analysis. — Frequent suppression of urine. 

Prodrome; thirst and drawing pains in bones and periosteum. 

Chill; with thirst; bruised, sore, weak; bed feels hard, frequent 
change of position in consequence. 

Heat; motion or slightest uncovering makes him chilly; heat 
intolerable. 

Sweat; sour, offensive, like mouldy earth. 



ARSENICUM ALBUM. 

Characteristic. — Great prostration, with rapid sinking of 
the vital forces. Fainting. 
The disposition is : 

a. Depressed, melancholic, despairing, indifferent. 

b. Fearful, restless, anxious, full of anguish. 

c. Irritable, sensitive, peevish, easily vexed. — Dunham. 
Mentally restless, but physically too weak to move; cannot 

rest in any place ; changing places continually ; wants to be 
moved from one bed to another, and lies now here, now there. 

Anxious fear of death ; thinks it useless to take medicine,

ARSENICUM ALBUM. 79 

Burning pains, the affected parts burn like fire. 

Excessive anxiety ; great anguish ; extreme restlessness ; 
fear of death. 

Burning thirst, without special desire to drink ; the stom- 
ach does not seem to tolerate, because it cannot assimilate 
cold water ; it is wanted but he cannot drink it. 

Great thirst for cold water ; drinks often but little at a time, 
simply to moisten the dry mouth and lips ; eats seldom but 
much. 

Teething children are pale, weak, fretful, and want to be

at any time of day. Shuddering whe?i walking in the open air. 
Generally little if any thirst during chill, then prefers hot drinks; 
if thirst}', frequent drinking but little at a time, but drinking in-

hypochondria; fulness in epigastrium; pressing pain in forehead; 
restlessness, anxiety and unquenchable thirst; sometimes a great 
desire for acids and acid drinks. 

Sweat.— This stage is as variable as that of chill — with un-

eral ancemic appearance (Eup., Cinch., Fer.). Skin pale, often 
covered with cold perspiration. Icterus after the fever. Fevers 
co7itracted at sea-shore watering places, coming on in the autumn, 
or "wintered over" and not coming on until spring (Gels.). 

"The paroxysm is not complete. One (especially the cold) 
stage is generally wanting." — Carroll Dunham. 

The following admirable analysis of the indications for Arsenic 
in intermittent (or other) fever is by Dr. Wurmb in Homceopathische 
Clinische St?(dzen, i, p. 179: 

' ' Arsenic is one of those few drugs whose action is distinguished 
not alone by its intensity, but equally by its extent; it involves 
the entire organism. Every system, every organ of the body, 
every nervous" filament, is so subjected to its powerful influence 
that we are not able to say which of its symptoms are primary, 
which are secondary, and where the focus of its action chiefly lies. 
We see the entire nerve-life attacked in all directions, from the 
slightest excitement to the most violent irritation; from the mere 
sensation of weakness to actual paralysis, and then we see, like- 
wise, another series of disturbances arise from its action, which 
advance in regular gradation from the most inconsiderable acceler- 
ation of the circulation to the most violent febrile storm; from 
the slightest irregularity in the vegetative sphere to a cachectic 
dyscrasia; yes, even to decomposition and destruction of the 
organic substance. 

" In addition, we remark the striking similarity between the 
symptoms of chronic arsenical poisoning and those of the inter- 
mittent cachexy, as well as the fact that Arsenic has the property 
of causing the periodical recurrence of symptoms in so high a 
degree as to surpass in this respect all other drugs; in a word, no 
other drug known to us has such a power of affecting so intimately 
and so variously those organs that are especially affected in inter- 
mittent fever, and none corresponds so well as Arsenic does to all 
the requirements of a remedy for intermittent. 

" Arsenic is indicated in cases which are distinguished not only 
by weakness in the vital power and deterioration of the organic 
substance, but also and at the same time by symptoms of excita- 
tion of the circulation, or of the nervous system alone, or of both 



84 ARSENICUM ALBUM. 

together. Again, it seems to be more especially indicated the 
more malignant the influence from which the disease has sprung. 
Marsh-miasm is the chief of these influences; in this originate the 
most serious and most dangerous cases of fever, and in these 
Arsenic is often the only remedy that will rescue the patient. 
Again, the longer the disease has lasted the more is Arsenic 
generally indicated, because the more deeply have the organs and 
tissues been affected, the more nearly has the patient's condition 
approached that known as the intermittent cachexia, and which 
so nearly resembles the arsenical cachexia. Especially is this the 
case when the liver and the spleen have become swollen. 

"The intermittents which find their homeopathic remedy in 
Arsenic present in their paroxysms the following peculiarities: 
The paroxysms are general, violent and of long duration; the 
stages are either distinctly developed and equally proportioned to 
each other, or else, as is most frequently the case, one of the 
stages is absent or is very feebly present; if the latter be the case, 
it is generally the cold stage which fails, and the hot is all the 
more violent. The more intense the heat, the longer it continues, 
the higher the degree of development of the accompanying excite- 
ment in the vascular system, and the more burning and insatiable 
the thirst, the better is Arsenic indicated. The sweating stage 
may be altogether wanting, or the perspiration may be very 
copious; it breaks out generally several hours after the hot stage 
and lasts a long time. 

"With the paroxysms are associated many distressing acces- 
sory symptoms, which are connected, some with the disturbances 
in the nervous system, some with those of the vascular system, 
e. g., spasms, pains, delirium, paralyses and the anguish and rest- 
lessness that are so characteristic of Arsenic. 

"The apyrexia is not pure, but is disturbed by symptoms of 
the most various kinds; restlessness, sleeplessness, spasms, di- 
gestive disorders, feeling of weakness and general prostration, and 
it is especially characteristic for Arsenic that after ever}- paroxysm 
there is a notable increase of prostration."

Arsenicum is often given (by some homeopaths) in alternation 
with Cinchona or some of its alkaloids in this disease; but with 
the above c imparison, to those who differentiate, there ought to 
be little danger of confounding them. Where one is indicated the 
other never is. Fowler's solution, and massive doses of the lower

triturations of Arsenicum, frequently repeated, are wholly unnec- 
essary in the treatment of intermittent or any other fever. If the 
remedy be indicated, the potentized drug will effect a more prompt 
and radical cure. 

Arsenicum is probably more often indicated than any other 
remedy, in the so-called " dumb ague," " masked intermittent," 
so often met with after abuse of Quinine. Also, in the afternoon 
intermittents of nursing children — who never have chills, and 
from whom it is impossible to obtain many indications — it fre- 
quently suffices to complete a cure. The general constitutional 
symptoms are guiding. 

In typhoid and continued fevers no remedy perhaps is so often 
abused as Arsenicum, when it is too frequently repeated in the 3X 
or 6x for "typhoid fever" not for the symptoms of the patient. 
In the characteristics of Arsenicum will be found such complete 
indications for its use in any stage of typhoid, typhus or yellow 
fever that the baneful effects of a routine practice may be avoided.

Aconite. Belladonna. 

Sour smelling sweat all over the Sweat stains the linen yellow, 

body. Sweat of empyreumatic odor. 

Tongue. — Coated white "straw- Tongue, — Red, dry, "scarlatina- 
berry tongue." Everything but like," mouth and fauces dry. 
water tastes bitter; taste of rotten Food tastes salty: bread sour. 
eggs. 

" Where there is a doubt whether Aconite or Belladonna should 
be given, I have always found that a disposition to perspire con- 
stitutes a valuable indication for Belladonna." — Baehr. 

It has been taught by some authors, and believed by many 
members of the homeopathic faith, that Aconite and Belladonna 
— except as incurrents during the congestive stage of heat — are 
useless in the treatment of intermittent fever. But the law of 
cure, as enunciated by Hahnemann, knows no such narrow 
restrictions, and is not bound by the ipse dixit of individual 
opinion. 

If Aconite or Belladonna cover the totality of the patient's 
symptoms, it will as certainly cure this fever, as any other remedy. 
They are comparatively rarely indicated, but will effectually do 
their work when called for. The characteristic symptoms of the 
remedy must always be the guide. 

Analysis. — Congested, red, hot face; head and carotids throb- 
bing; pupils dilated; cold extremities. 

Heat; intense, burning within and without, great thirst, dis- 
tended blood-vessels, < uncovering. 

Szveat; on covered parts only, or on covering slightly. 

A typical Belladonna picture, irrespective of the paroxysm. 

BENZINUM. 

Neither the type, time, chill nor any stage of the parox- 
ysm of Benzinum is marked or peculiar ; there is chill of 
single parts, but the heat is often wanting. 

Like Petroleum and its products, l!en/.inuni has both pro- 
fuse and partial sweat; sweat of single parts is very charac- 
teristic. 
7 



98 BENZINUM — BOYISTA. 

Chill. — Of single parts ; from extremities of fingers and toes 
to chest, head and vertex. 

Sweat. — At night, copious, general, warm and very exhaust- 
ing (Cinuab.); followed toward morning by perspiration only on 
the breast, in the axillce and on the side not lain upon (Sanicula 
— Rev. of Aeon., Bry., Nit. ac). 

Analysis. — The profuse sweat of single parts, especially the 
side not laid upon, is very guiding. 

Dear Dr. Allen : 

I have your first edition, and have been able to do some good work in 
consequence. One symptom under Benzinum helped me to relieve a poor 
fellow who had been annoyed by one-sided sweating for several months, and 
I had searched in vain for the remedy that had that particular symptom: 
" Sweat on the side of the body not lain upon." 

I had tried every remedy in the Materia Medica for " partial sweat," with- 
out any relief. In looking over your book one day, I accidentally stumbled 
upon Benzine, and behold! my long-looked for symptom and remedy, and 
it was marvellous how quickly my patient was cured of his discomfort.

become raw and sore. 

Leucorrhcea : a few days before or a few days after the 
menses (before, Sep.; after, Kreos.; both before and after, 
Graph.); acrid, thick, tough, tenacious, yellow-green, leaving 
green spots on linen, causing soreness. 

Adapted to old maids, subject to palpitation, leucorrhcea, 
tettery eruptions, chronic urticaria (when Rhus fails to cure).

stove; must get near the stove as soon as chill begins (Ign., 
Lactu). Chill immediately after going to bed at night com- 
mencing in back. Severe chill every evening from 7 to 10 p. m., 
commencing with chilliness in the back, the first day with thirst, 
without subsequent heat or sweat (without heat or thirst, Aran.,

thirst with the shuddering. 

Sweat. — Especially upon the chest, every morning from 5 to 
6a.m. Profuse sweat in axilla — smells like onions. 

Tongue. — Coated yellow. Taste putrid; bitter. 

Analysis. — The chill predominates. 

The characteristic of the Bovista fever is a well-defined chill or

other stages occur, they are so light as not to produce inconve- 
nience. Compare with Aran., Camph., Dros. 



BRYONIA ALBA. 

Characteristic. — Suitable to the gouty or rheumatic dia- 
thesis ; persons with bilious tendency, exceedingly irritable, 
inclined to be angry ; black hair, dark complexion and firm

Stretching and drawing in the limbs; violent headache, stitching, 
jerking, throbbing from before backwards as if the head would 
burst; vertigo.

little and often, but drinking causes vomiting, Ars.); heat of the 
head and face, with flushed cheeks; cough violent, dry, rack-

down, in this stage. 

Heat. — With increased thirst, same cough with pleuritic stitches 
as in chill (dr)^ cough during heat, Aeon. Ipec); increased 
headache and vertigo; pain in limbs aggravated by motion; 
nausea and vomiting. Dry, burning, internal heat, as if the 
blood in the veins was burning, or as if molten lead was running

walking, it runs in streams from his face. Sweat flowed in 
streams from whole body, even dropping from the hair (Cinch. — 
the least exertion puts him into a perspiration, Psor.). Sweat

— to pork, Dros. >. 



104 BRYONIA ALBA. 

Pulse. — Full, hard, rapid and tense, sometimes intermittent. 

Apyrexia. — All symptoms of this stage are characteristic and 
should be carefully studied. Gastric symptoms predominate 
(Ant. c, Puis., Nux), but the general constitutional are almost 
always to be found and if present are guiding. Every spot in the 
body is painful to pressure. (Soreness of the part lain on, which 
compels him to move, although motion hurts, Arn., Bap., Pyr.) 
Feels best when lying ?ipo?i painful side. 

' ' When fever is caused by getting wet, occipital cephalalgia, pre- 
ceded by rheumatic pains in muscles of whole body; loss of appe- 
tite, eating a mouthful suffices; rotatory vertigo; redness of face, 
and thirst in all stages of paroxysms." — Dr. Higgins. 

Analysis.— Bonninghausen's picture of the Bryonia fever: 

"Pulse hard, frequent and tense. 

Chill. — Chill and coldness predominate, often with heat of head, 
red cheeks and thirst. Chill with external coldness of the body. 
Chill and coldness most at evening or on the right side of body. 
Chill more in the room than in the open air. 

Heat. — Dry, burning heat for the most part internal only, and 
as if the blood burned in the veins. All the symptoms are aggra- 
vated during the heat. 

Sweat. — Much sweat: easy sweating, even from walking slowly 
in the cold open air. Copious night and morning sweats." 

CLINICAL. 

Case I. — Tertian; the fever anticipates one or two hours every day. The 
paroxysms are preceded by vertigo, with headache, and stitching in the 
chest during an inspiration. Moderate chilliness, followed by great heat. 
Delirium. Unquenchable thirst, with dry cough. Lastly sweat. Bry. iS two 
doses, after fever. Cured. — Horn. Clinique. Pr. Com., I., p. 1S1. 

Case II. — Tertian fever (this man had received large doses of Quinia 
under allopathic treatment). Violent chilliness for half an hour every third 
day at noon, preceded by violent headache; after this the skin became 
warmer, the pulse full and frequent, but no heat properly so called, although 
there was violent thirst. Sweat considerable. The apyrexia was character- 
ized by pricking and cutting in the chest, especially when coughing; the 
cough being dry and troublesome. Face pale; no gastric symptoms; pulse 
normal; sleep tranquil. Bry. 21 soon after attack. Two days after, a feeble 
paroxysm. No return. — Dr. Thorer, Horn. Clinique. Pr. Com., I., p. 38. 



BRYONIA ALBA— CACTUS GRANDIFLORUS. 105 

Case III. — Intermittent fever. Patient had "double legs" while taking 
Bryonia. The symptom disappeared after taking Petr 200, one dose. — GIL- 
BERT. 

Case IV. — Remittent Fever. The symptom of the whole body being 
"double" was present for several days, though the patient was improving 
under Arsenic; with it there was occipital headache and vertigo on sitting 
up. After a dose of Bryonia the "double " first disappeared, then the head- 
ache followed, and the next morning the vertigo was gone. — Gilbert. 

These cases — two of them reported many years ago, 1834 — 
illustrate the fact that one or two doses of the properly selected 
remedy, even in the low potencies, given after severity of the 
paroxysm had passed, as Hahnemann advised in the Org anon, are 
sufficient to cure. The single dose treatment is not new. 



CACTUS GRANDIFLORUS. 

Characteristic. — Sanguineous congestions in persons of 
plethoric habit (Aeon.); often resulting in hemorrhage. 

Fear of death ; believes the disease incurable (Ars.). 

Hemorrhage : from nose, lungs, stomach, rectum, bladder 
(Crot., Kreos., Mill., Phos.). 

Headache : pressing, like a heavy weight on vertex ; climac- 
teric ; congestive, periodic, right-sided, severe throbbing pul- 
sating pain. 

Whole body feels as if caged, each wire being twisted 
tighter and tighter. 

Constriction : of throat, chest, heart, bladder, rectum, 
uterus, vagina ; often caused or brought on by the slightest 
contact. 

Pains everywhere ; darting, springing, like chain-lightning, 
and ending with a sharp, vise-like grip, only to be again 
renewed. 

Oppression of chest, as from a great weight ; as if an iron 
hand prevented normal motion. 



106 CACTUS GRANDIFLORUS. 

Sensation of a cord tightly tied around lower part of chest 
marking attachment of diaphragm. 

Heart feels as if clasped and unclasped rapidly by an iron 
hand ; as if bound, " had no room to beat." 

Palpitation : day and night ; worse when walking and 
lying on left side (Lach.); at approach of menses. 

Menstrual flow ceases when lying doivn (Bov., Caust). 

Aggravation. — Motion; touch. 

Amelioration. — In open air. 

Type.— Quotidian. Periodicity well marked. Return at same 
hour each day: pains down thighs, chill, fever, pains in uterus 
and ovaries. 

Time. — n A. M., or n P. M.— Characteristic. 

Returns at same hour every day (Aran., Ced., Gels., Sabad.). 

Cause. — After exposure to heat of sun. 

Chill. — Without thirst. Coldness in the back and icy cold hands 
(after water in the cellar, — Ars., Rhus). Chilliness which lasts 
three hours, makes the teeth chatter, and does not go off although 
he lies down and covers himself up with many blankets. Chill 
not relieved by anything, either covering or external heat (Aran.). 

Heat. — Burning heat of 24 hours' duration (succeeding a three 
hours' chill), with dyspnoea and shortness of breath, and a 
smothering sensation so that he cannot remain quiet in bed. 
Great heat in the head and flushes in the face as if before a strong 
fire, which causes horrible a?ixiety. Insupportable heat in abdo- 
men; lancinating pain in heart, suppressed urine, pains in bladder 
and pulsating pains in uterine region, vomiting, headache, coma, 
stupefaction, insensibility, terminating in very slight perspiration. 

Some thirst at close of heat. 

Heat sometimes wanting. 

Sweat. — With great thirst (Cinch.). After burning heat, 
with shortness of breath, inability to remain lying on account of 
dyspnoea, a profuse sweat breaks out attended with unquenchable 
thirst for large quantities of cold water (Ars., Cinch.). Violent 
vomiting when perspiration fails. 



CACTUS GRANDIFLORUS— CADMIUM SULPHURICUM. 107 

Tongue. — Clean; taste soapy; stomach deranged. 

Apyrexia. — From n p. m. till 12 M. the next day, complete 
apyrexia. The regularity of attack is perfect; and all stages are 
clearly defined. The congestive symptoms of brain and chest 
predominate during the heat (Bell., Cinch., Natr. m.). Rarely 
indicated, but has no substitute; effectually and permanently 
cures. May be compared with Aranea, Cedron, or Cinchona. 

Quotidian intermittent; congestion to head; flushes in face; 
suppressed urine; pains in bladder; lancinating in 'heart; violent 
vomiting; sweat does not appear after exposure to sun's rays. 

Analysis. — Clock-like regularity of paroxysm, 11 a. m. or 11 
p. M. 

Congestive and constrictive symptoms of head and chest pre- 
dominate. 

After exposure to intense heat of sun. 



CADMIUM SULPHURICUM. 

Characteristic. — Symptoms chiefly clinical, but have been 
verified in cholera infantum and malignant yellow fever. 

Traumatic opacity of cornea ; bluish maculae ; after a slow 
conjunctivitis and keratitis with blenorrhcea.

Nausea or black vomit when other medicines though well 
selected fail. 

Vomiting: of black, sour or yellow matter; of all food 
taken, bile and stringy mucus; with cold sweat on face and

(Aeon., Bry., Hep.); checked perspiration, in the sunshine. 

Gastric symptoms : in drunkards; after drinking beer; during 
pregnancy; after cramps in stomach. 

Type. — Malarial; yellow. 

Dr. Hardenstein, of Vicksburg, used this remedy with great 
success in the malignant epidemic of yellow fever in 1878. 

Time. — Fever, before midnight. 

Cause.— Fevers prevailing during epidemic yellow fever. 

Chill. — Icy coldness. Blueness of skin. 

Coldness: even when near the fire; after drinking; after sleep; 
after walking; with hot hands. Horripilation.

posure to a draft of air during fever or convalescence. 

Falls asleep during evening fever and wakes when it stops. 

Analysis. — Yellow and malarial fevers with deathly nausea, 
intense gagging and retching, and vomiting of black, sour or 
yellow matter. 

When the best selected remedies fail.

114 CAMPHORA. 

Antidotes many vegetable remedies ; hence its use in the 
sick room in the crude form of tincture is not advisable. 

In most other cases the smelling of Camphor is not anti- 
dotal, but palliative by producing the symptom, " pain better 
while thinking of it." 

Aggravation. — Cold air; night; motion; lying covered. 

Amelioration. — When thinking of existing complaint ; warmth; 
warm air; drinking cold water.

ive when walking. Heat with distention .of the veins, increased by 
every motion (> by motion, Caps.). Glowing heat, with full 
rapid pulse. Heat in the head, face, occiput, back, legs, lobules 
of the ears; body hot and sweating, but averse to uncovering. 



CAMPHORA. 115

exhaustion. 

In 1829, on the approach of Asiatic Cholera to Western Europe, 
Hahnemann, from a description of the disease, published in ad- 
vance of its approach, that Camphor would be the remedy in the 
stage of collapse; and the clinical experience of each subsequent 
epidemic demonstrated his prediction. This power of previsio?i; 
the crowning glory of our school of medicine; the absolute proof 
that " similia " is a " Law of Cure;" the demonstration of the 
claim of Homeopathy to be ranked as a -medical science; was first 
shown by Hahnemann in the fatal typhus which followed the 
terrible retreat of Napoleon from his Russian campaign in 18 12. 
He published in advance that Rhus would be the principal remedy, 
and the recognition of Homeopathy by the Austrian Government 
was the reward of its successful administration. 

There is probably no stage of any disease that bears so close a 
resemblance to the collapse of cholera as the true, " pernicious" 
" sinking," or " congestive" stage of intermittent fever. Hence, 
Camphor should deservedly be placed in the front rank with Apis, 
Carbo v., Gels., Each., Nux, Ver., as one of our " sheet anchors " 
in this form of fever, instead of Quinine, often so indiscriminately 
and empirically used. 

This abuse of Quinine is borrowed by the pseudo-homeopath 
from his allopathic brother, who has no "law of cure" upon 



116 CAMPHORA— CAXCHALAGUA. 

which to rely, and is compelled to depend upon his theories 
(malarial and cryptogamic) to prevent the return of the paroxysm. 
Quinine may suppress it, as it will many simpler forms of the 
fever, but there are many cases it will neither suppress nor cure, 
and these are generally the fatal cases that so often occur in the 
practice of regular (?) medicine. The fatal " third paroxysm " is 
rarely known under the properly selected homeopathic remedy. 
It is a " bug-bear ' ' of allopathic teaching and practice. No ho- 
meopath, surely, would think of giving Quinine in cholera col- 
lapse, for no better reason than it is given by the rational (?) 
school of medicine. The statistics of comparative mortality of 
each system of practice ' ' in cholera ' ' ought to be convincing. 

A Case. — Last summer I had two cases, oue a boy the other a girl, which 
defied all my efforts. When I saw her she was in the sweating stage; face 
looked cold, pale blue, pinched, anxious, and was covered with a profuse 
sweat. When I looked at her I thought if you were suffering from cholera 
I would give you Camphor. Why should I not give Camphor in this sick- 
ness? I accordingly gave her the 2x trit. , three or four powders per day. 
I was agreeably surprised to find that she did not have a recurrence of the 
chills; has remained free ever since. 

Her fever was of the tertian type. — R. C. Allen, M. D., Med. Investi- 
gator, Sept., 1885.

nating with heat. head and head. 

Chill, heat and sweat, all relieved Neither stage relieved by anything. 
by motion. 

Capsicum is a valuable remedy in intermittents occurring in 
midsummer; its symptoms are clearly defined and ought not to be 
confounded with any other remedy. The chill beginning in the 
back between the scapulce; relieved by hot irons or jugs of hot water 
and lessened by motion, is characteristic. It is oftener indicated 
than used — just the reverse of Quinia. 

Capsicum, Cinchona, Eupatorium perf. and Natrum mur. , 
have thirst some time before paroxysm begins; " knows the chill 
is coming, because he wants to drink." It is a chief symptom of 
the prodrome in each. Both Capsicum and Cinchona are want- 
ing in the bone pains and backache so characteristic of Eupa- 
torium and Natrum. 

Analysis.— Thirst before the chill (Cinch., Eup., Nat.) but 
no bone pains. 

Chill; with great thirst < after drinking. Shivering and chill- 
iness after every drink, > by heat to back. 

Heat; without thirst, > by motion. Sleepy after fever and 
after eating (Apis, Pod.). 

Sweat; without thirst, acrid; or after chill, or heat with sweat 
(Ant. c); > by motion. 

Midsummer fevers.

exertion even when eating. Sweat in hollows of knees (Bufo); 
profuse of the feet and thighs. 

Symptoms of this stage always guiding and predominant. 
(Bry. and Cinch, have profuse, debilitating sweat, but lack the 
offensiveness of Carbo a. ) 

Relations. — Complementary: Calc. phos. 

Tongue. — Blisters on the tongue and sides of the tongue 
(Canth.), which pain as if burnt. Burning on tip of the tongue 
and rawness of the mouth, relieved by eating. Ravenous hunger 
(Cina, Phos.). 

Apyrexia. — Never clear. All the constitutional troubles are 
aroused, and every disease is extremely prostrating. Leucorrhoea 
stains linen yellozu. 

Analysis. — The profuse, debilitating, offensive, exhausting 
sweat, is characteristic. 

Carbo an. will rarely be indicated, unless the fever be developed 
after or upon some constitutional trouble. The sweating stage is 
very exhausting, and out of all proportion to the chill and heat. 

The fever generally accompanies some dyscrasia, with glandular 
swellings or where benign tend to malignant diseases. 

Compare: Caps., Carbo v. 



CARBO VEGETABILIS. 

Characteristic. — Best adapted to persons, young or old, 
who have suffered from exhausting diseases (exhausted from 
loss of vital fluids, Cinch., Phos. ac, Phos.). Cachectic, with 
weak vitality. 



CARBO YEGETABILIS. 125 

Persons who have never fully recovered from the exhaust- 
ing effects of some previous illness ; asthma dates from

Ailments : from Quinine, especially suppressed intermit- 
tents ; abuse of mercury, salt, salt meats, or spoiled fish, meats, 
fats (Cepa) ; getting overheated (Ant. c). 

Diseases of venous system predominate (Sul.) ; symptoms 
of imperfect oxidation (Arg. nit.) ; deficient capillary circula- 
tion causes blueness of skin and coldness of extremities ; 
vital powers nearly exhausted ; desires to be constantly 
fanned, must have more air. 

Patients crave things that make them sick ; old topers 
crave whiskey cr brandy ; want clothing loose around abdo- 
men. 

Weak digestion ; the simplest food disagrees. Excessive 
accumulation of gas in stomach and intestines ; after eating 
or drinking, sensation as if stomach would burst. Eructations 
give temporary relief. Effects of a debauch, rich food, late 
suppers. 

Bad effects from loss of vital fluids (Canst.); hemorrhage 
from aii}- broken down condition of mucous membrane. 

Hemorrhage from an}- mucous outlet ; in systems broken 
down, debilitated ; blood oozes from weakened tissues; vital 
force exhausted.

cially warm damp weather; or in protracted sultry heat of summer 
or autumn; butter, pork, fat food; abuse of quinine, bark, mer- 
cury; mornings.

in " old topers;" Ant. t. in threatened paralysis from inability to 
expectorate loosened mucus; Caps., Carbo v. in fevers.

Cause. — Fevers from getting over-heated; from living in damp 
dwellings. 

Prodrome. — Headache, throbbing in temples, backache, tear- 
ing toothache, and tearing pain in the limbs; cold feet; the two 
latter may attend the entire paroxysm. 

Chill. — With thirst; at times left sided; begi?is in left hand and 
arm (begins in right arm, Merc. per.). Chill with headache 
and unusual lassitude; with icy-coldness of the body a?id cold breath

were lying on the back between the shoulders, Lachn.); shiver - 

*In Memphis during the epidemic of 1873, charcoal came much into favor 
as a prophylactic; out of more than fifty persons who took it and were con- 
stantly exposed to the fever, not one was attacked. The usual dose was 
half a teaspoon ful of the crude powder two or three times a day. — Dr. 
Morse. 



CARBO YEGETABILIS. 127

usually without thirst. Headache continues after the heat (con- 
tinues after the sweat, Ars., Eup.). Loquacity during hot stage

Lye). Sensation as if stomach or abdomen would burst after eat- 
ing or drinking. Great foulness of the excretions (Bap.). 

" In cachectic patients with profuse sour-smelling perspiration, 
thirst only during the chill, excitability of nervous symptoms.

pression of paroxysm by Quinia. One-sided chill {left) during 
afternoon, great prostration; with icy coldness of the body; thirst 
and rapid sinking; small pulse, contracted, cold and cadaverous 
tongue and face, with cold breath." — T. D. STOWE. 

This picture very closely resembles a so-called " pernicious " or 
" congestive fever."

Cedro7i, and both remedies have proved very efficacious in the 
treatment of intermittents occurring in the lower Mississippi 
valley. The late Dr. Hardenstein, of Vicksburg, relied upon 
Cascarilla when he found this symptom present, and says it rarely 
failed to cure. 

CAUSTICUM.

spirits, dullness of senses, and pressive headache. For 20 to 40 
minutes mental excitement; exaltation of vital energy; florid, 
animated face and a sensation of general heat.

burning hot. During chill, hands, feet and nose cold, with con- 
gestion of the head, palpitation and hurried respiration. Cramps 
and painful feeling, with tearing, twitching pains in upper ex- 
tremities, feet and hands icy-cold. Chills and shivering of whole 
body. Chill predominates (Petr.). 

Heat. — With thirst for warm drinks (Cas., Chel., Sab.). 
" Cannot drink anything but hot drinks during fever." Dry heat 
during the night; dry heat of entire body; animated face and pro- 
fuse perspiration; chattering of the teeth and shaking of the whole 
body; great desire and longing for warm drinks (rarely wants 
cold drinks), and emission of large quantities of pale urine. 
Desire to sleep as heat passes off (Apis). " Numb, dead feeling 
in the legs; they feel enlarged. Entire body feels numb " (hands 
and feet feel dead, Cimex — fingers feel dead, Sep.). 



136 CEDRON. 

Sweat. — With thirst. Dry heat, folloivcd by profuse perspira- 
tion (Cinch.), preceded by cramps, these followed by contract- 
ing, tearing pains in upper and lower extremities, with a cold 
sensation in the hands and feet; mouth dry, great thirst and 
desire for cold water; chills and shivering, sometimes very strong 
shivering of the whole body; palpitation and hurried respiration; 
uri?ie scanty and high colored. 

Tongue. —Coated yellow even to the tip, on rising in the 
morning. At 5 p. m. intolerable pricking-itching of the tongue, 
she had to keep rubbing it against the palate. At 5:30 p. m. 
pricking of the tongue, half an hour later chilliness, with heat of 
the face, pale hands; feet and tip of the nose cold. Pricking of 
tongue early in the morning; goes off after eating. 

Pulse. — Weak and depressed during chill, quick and full, with

Apyrexia. — Lasted from 15 to 17 hours, after which, and in 
about the same time as previous day, the paroxysm was repeated; 
restless; very nervous; cold and pale; weakness, yet return of 
appetite; transient pains are felt in the joints, principally in right 
elbow, which seems to perspire; general malaise; great debility; 
body heavy; mind depressed. Roaring in ears, deafness at night. 

The debility is almost as marked as in Cinchona, but appears 
to be due more to the action of the brain and nervous system 
than to the effect of the profuse perspiration which is so charac- 
teristic of the latter. Said to be adapted to the intermittent 
fevers, occurring in lotv, marshy regions, particularly in warm 
seasons and in tropical countries. Ought to be the first remedy 
thought of in " Panama " fever. 

The chill or chilliness predominates, but no stage of the 
paroxysm is "clear cut" or well marked, as in Cinchona, 
Eupatorium and some other remedies. With the chill there is 
chilliness and heat, or hot flushes, or hot hands, or red face and 
congestion of the head, particularly of the meninges. During 
heat, shivering, shaking, cold hands and nose. During sweat, 
coldness and heat, and heat and sweat irregularly intermingled. 

Were it not for "its clock-like periodicity" Cedron would be 
much better adapted to remittent than intermittent fevers, if we 



CEDRON— CHAMOMILLA. 137

of this stage are usually guiding. Patients suffer from bad di- 
gestion. 

In consequence of anger or vexation, we often have instead of 
the usual fever paroxysm, violent colic, bilious bitter vomiting 
and diarrhoea. Chamomilla vies with Cina and Arsenicum in the 
treatment of intermittents occurring in children.

Characteristic. — Adapted to persons of a highly nervous 
organization. Women subject to epileptic and choreic con- 
vulsions ; spasms of teething children, or from worms. 

Convulsions : violent, with frightful distortions of the limbs 
and whole body ; renewed from touch, noise or jar. 

Epilepsy : with swelling of the stomach as from violent 
spasms of the diaphragm ; screaming ; red face ; trismus ; hic- 
cup ; loss of consciousness and distortion of the limbs ; fre- 
quent, during the night ; recurring at first at short, then at 
long intervals.

CICUTA YIROSA — CIMEX. 143 

Aggravation. — From tobacco smoke (Ign.); touch; jar. 

Amelioration. — In op;n air. 

Type. — Quotidian intermittent; periodicity not marked. 

Time. — Afternoon (2 to 3:30 p. m.) paroxysm. 

Chill. — And chilliness, with desire for warmth and to go to the 
warm stove (Lach.). The chilliness begins in the chest and 
extends down the legs and into the arms, after which follows a 
disposition to stare at one point. Icycoldness of the whole body; 
ears cold; cold sensation streams through lower legs, especially 
the right. The whole abdomen was cold. They all long for a 
warm stove (Bov., Ign., Lach.). 

Heat. — Without thirst; general of whole body; of single parts 
and special organs; in the chest and abdomen; in both legs. 
Sensation of hot water in the chest, arms, legs and ears; hot 
internally and externally. Burning and redness of the face. 
Constant desire for open air. 

Sweat. — On the abdomen; at night, and in the morning hours. 
Feels invigorated after. 

Tongue. — -Swelling of the tongue. Thirst, with inability to 
swallow (Cimex). 

The conditions calling for Cicuta are liable to occur during or 
following epidemic spinal meningitis. The chief symptom is the 
chill and coldness beginning in chest and extending downward. 



CIMEX.— (Acanthia Lectularia.) 

Characteristic. — Affects the right side most. Violent 
headache during the chill, which almost deprives him of the 
power of thinking ; worse when he drinks. 

Pain in liver as if strained ; painful when touched and 
coughing. 

Constipation : stool dry, like small nuts, and only able to 
pass a small piece with each effort (Chel., Op., Plb., Thuja). 



14-4 CIMEX. 

Cough : with gagging, belching or vomiting (Bry., Dros., 
Kali); with purulent sputa ; in daily attacks with fever 
paroxysms. 

Irresistible drowsiness and sleepiness (Ant. t, Nux m.). 

Aggravation. — Drinking: every movement, especially extend- 
ing a limb, produces pain in extensor tendons; suffers the thirst 
rather' than move. 

Amelioration.— By abstaining from drinking. 

Type. — Tertian or quartan. 

Time. — All periods, day or night. 

Prodrome. — Thirst; can drink before the paroxysm begins. 
Heaviness in lower limbs five or six hours before chilly stage 
begin? (thirst with pains in bones of limbs one to three hours 
before chill begins, Eup.). 

Chill. — Without thirst. Chill commencing in the feet, which 
first become cold; clenching of hands; violent raging; cold shud- 
dering, as if cold water were poured over her (Cinch., Rhus); 
stretching, yawning; great drowsiness during chilly stage, he is 
unable to resist sleep (Op.); hands and feet feel dead (fingers 
feel as if they were dead, Sep. — all the body feels numb, Ced.). 
During chill, pain in all the joints (pain in ankles and wrists, 
Pod.), as if tendons were too short, contracted, so that the legs 
cannot be stretched, particularly the knee joints, which he is unable 
to extend. Oppression of the chest; must take a long breath 
frequently (oppression of chest; he must be raised up in order to 
breathe, Apis). Chill terminates with a feeling in the legs as if 
tired by walking, obliging constant change of position of limbs. 
After the chill (instead of fever), thirst; but when he drinks, 
violent headache, which almost deprives him of the power of think- 
ing; with tickling in the larynx, causing dry, uninterrupted 
cough; oppressed breathing; heaviness in the middle of chest and 
anxiety. Tormented with thirst, yet he abstains from drinking, 
because it makes headache and all the above symptoms unbear- 
able (see Ars., Caps., Eup.). 

Heat. — Without thirst, but desire to drink nearly all day, on 
account of dryness of throat (Nux m.). When the dry heat sets 



CIMEX— CINCHONA. l-i5 

in the uneasiness disappears, in place of which she feels a pres- 
sure and gagging in the oesophagus \ affecting whole chest and im- 
peding respiration; when she drinks for the purpose of putting a 
stop to the gagging the water can o?ily be swallowed at i?itervals, 
as if the oesophagus were constricted (Cic). The gagging does not 
cease until hot stage terminates, after which ravenous hunger 
(hunger before chill, Cinch. — hunger during entire paroxysms, 
Cina). If he drinks during heat is obliged to urinate soon after; 
urine hot and brown, depositing much sediment; continues hot 
even 24 hours after fever. 

Sweat. — Without thirst; > all the other symptoms (Nat., 
Psor.). Musty-smelling, sour sweat (Stan.); the odor is very 
offensive to him (Carbo a.). Light sweat, mostly on head and 
chest, with continued hunger (Eup.). 

Tongue. — Coated white; saliva collects on middle of tongue 
and tastes of iron; tongue, gums and palate feel burnt and scalded. 
Throat dry, causing drinking. 

Apyrexia. — A good deal of thirst in this stage, in which, as in 
the prodrome, he can satisfy his thirst without headache, gagging 
or oesophageal constriction. 

Analysis. — Thirst; can drink only during prodrome. Con- 
traction of joints as if tendons were too short. Gagging, belch- 
ing or vomiting. Drinking causes violent headache. 



CINCHONA. 

Characteristic. — Adapted to stout, u swarthy" persons; to 
systems once robust which have become debilitated, "broken 
down," from exhausting discharges. 

Apathetic, indifferent, taciturn (Phos. ac.) ; despondent, 
gloomy, has no desire to live, but lacks courage to commit 
suicide. 

Ailments : from loss of vital fluids, especially hemor- 
rhages, excessive lactation, diarrhoea, suppuration (Chin, s.) ; 
10 



146 CINCHONA. 

of malarial origin, with marked periodicity ; return every 
other day. 

After climacteric with profuse hemorrhage ; acute diseases 
often result in dropsy. 

Pains : are darting or drawing-tearing ; in every joint, all 
the bones, periosteum as if strained, sore all over ; obliged to 
move limbs frequently as motion gives relief (Eup., Rhus) ; 
renewed by contact, and then gradually increase to a great 
height ; < slightest touch, > by hard pressure. 

Great debility, trembling, aversion to exercise ; nervous ; 
sensitive to touch, to pain, to drafts of air ; unref resiling 
sleep < after 3 A. m. 

One hand icy cold, the other warm (Dig., Ipec, Puis.). 

Headache : as if the skull would burst ; intense throbbing 
of head and carotids, face flushed ; from occiput over whole 
head ; < sitting or lying, must stand or walk ; after hemor- 
rhage or sexual excesses. 

Face pale, hippocratic ; eyes sunken and surrounded by 
blue margins ; pale, sickly expression as after excesses ; tooth- 
ache while nursing the child. 

Excessive flatulence of stomach and bowels ; belching gives 
no relief (Lye, Pod. — gives relief, Carbo v.) ; < after eating 
fruit. 

Colic : at a certain hour each day ; periodical, from gall- 
stone (Card, m.) ; < nights, after eating ; > bending double. 

Labor-pains cease from hemorrhage ; cannot bear to be 
touched, not even her hands. 

Hemorrhages : from mouth, nose, uterus or bowels ; long 
continued ; longing for sour things; blood dark, or dark and 



CINCHONA. 147 

clotted, with ringing in the ears, fainting, loss of sight, gen- 
eral coldness and sometimes convulsions (Fer., Phos.). 
Relations. — Complementary: Ferrum. 

Aggravation. — From slightest touch; every other day; draft 
of air ; milk; at night; after the chills; mental emotion. 

Amelioration. — Warmth; daring rest; pressure; bending 
double 

Type. — Variable. Tertian or double tertian; quotidian or 
double quotidian; double quartan; malarial; remittent. 

Anticipates from two to three hours each attack (Quinine). 

" Paroxysm every seventh day, anticipating about three hours 
each succeeding chill " — W. J. Hawkes. 

Time. — Not characteristic; may begin at any hour of day; gen- 
erally toward midday; never at night. 5 p. M., 5 A. M. Parox- 
ysms return every seven or every fourteen days (Ars., Puis.). 

Cause. — Paludal fevers have always been considered its special 
domain. A change of theory may revolutionize the cause to 
which Cinchona is now supposed to be especially adapted; but 
thanks to similia it will not in the least affect its homoeopathic 
indications. 

Prodrome. — Great thirst (Caps., Eup., Puis. — thirst and 
bone pains, Eup.); canine hunger ; nausea ; anguish ; headache; 
debility; palpitation of the heart, with anxiety; sneezing when 
exposed to cold air; oppressive colic; and a general feeling of ill- 
ness. 

" Restless sleep night before the paroxysm." — Hahnemann. 

Chill.— Without thirst* (with thirst, Caps., Ign., Quin.). 
Thirst ceases as soon as chill begins. General shaking chill over 
whole body, beginning in the legs below the knees, increased by 
drinking. Shivering or chilliness, with goose-flesh, after every 
vwallow of drink (abstains from drinking because every swallow 



* Observation by Hahnemann. — In all my observations I have found that 
the Cinchona fever is characterized by the thirst not appearing during the 
cold stage, cither shuddering or chilliness; that, on the contrary, thirst 
came after the cold stage, or, which is the same thing, that thirst came 
shortly before the hot stag'.- set in. 



148 CINCHONA. 

increases the chill, Eup. perf. — because drinking causes vomit- 
ing, Ars. — shuddering and chill after every drink, Caps. — drink- 
ing makes headache and all symptoms unbearable, Cimex). 
Thirst before or after, but not during the chill. Coldness and 
shivering when walking in the open air at 5 p. m., disappearing 
in the room ; an hour afterwards, great heat, especially in the face, 
increased on motion and on ivalking (Bry.); thirst follows an hour 
after the disappearance of the heat. Wants to be near the stove, 
but it increases the chill (Ipec. — relieved by heat of stove, Ign. 
— relieved by external heat, Ars.). hiternal and violent chill, 
with icy cold hands and feet, and congestion of blood to the head. 
Chill with pain in the liver. Shaking chill and internal coldness 
for several hours; shivering over the whole body without thirst ; 
coldness of the hands and feet even in a warm room ; chill alternat- 
ing with heat, skin cold and blue (Camph., Carbo v.— hands 
cold, nails blue, Nux). Sensation of internal coldness in upper 
abdomen, after every swallow of drink, and renewed on every in- 
spiration. Coldness over whole body as if dashed with cold water 
(Ant. t., Rhus). Paleness and icy coldness of the hands and 
feet, aggravated by walking; vertigo and paleness of the face. 

Heat. — Without thirst* General heat, with distended veins, 
congested headache, desire to uncover, but chilly when uncovered 
(chilly when uncovered in any stage of paroxysm, Nux). Ca- 
nine hunger ox aversion to food, pain in the region of the liver, 
back, chest, limbs; dryness of mouth and dry, burning lips, with 
redness of face and often delirium. Long-lasting heat, with sleep. 
Cough dry, spasmodic, fatiguing, with pain in both hypochondria 
and at pit of stomach (with stitching pain in chest, Bry.). Heat 
of the whole body, externally a?id internally , zvith sivollen veins of 
the arms and hands, without sweat or thirst. Heat of the whole 
bod}-, aggravated by walking (relieved by walking, Caps.). Sen- 
sation of heat in abdomen as of hot water running down. The 

* Observation by Hahnemann. — There is likewise no thirst in the Cin- 
chona fever during the hot stage, except some burning of the lips, or some 
dryness of the parts, which dryness accounts for the symptom; sensation of 
slight thirst during the hot stage; "the thirst accompanying flushes of 
heat." In the Cinchona fever thirst sets in after the hot, or, which is the 
same thing, during the sweating stage. 



CINCHONA. 149 

cheeks are red and hot to the patient, although they are not warm. 
If he eats in this stage, sleepy after eating. On the least movement 
a?i unpleasant sensation of heat in the head and stomach. 

" Entire absence of thirst during height of paroxysm." — Ad. 
Lippe. 

Sweat. — With great thirst. The first indication of its ap- 
proach is the return of the thirst which preceded the chill, but 
which was absent during the cold and hot stages. Intense thirst 
during chill and especially during heat, positively contra-indicates 
Cinchona. 

Sweating during sleep. On being covered he sweats 
profusely all over ; this he cannot avoid, although very trouble- 
some, he is so sleepy he cannot get up. Partial; cold; greasy, or 
as if mixed with oil; profitse and debilitating (profuse, but not de- 
bilitating, Samb.); sweat on the back or side on which he lies 
(sweat on the side not lain upon, Benz.). Profuse sweat over the 
whole body when zvalking in the open air (Bry.). Easily excited 
sweat during sleep and motion (excited by motion only, Bry. — 
relieved by motion, Caps.). The sweat parboils the skin (Canch. 
— parboils the fingers. Ant. c). Often slow in becoming estab- 
lished, and frequently out of all proportion to the intensity of the 
cold and hot stages (see Eup.). 

' ' The patient sweats profusely, especially on the back and neck, 
when he sleeps." — Hahnemann. 

Tongue. — White or yellow; thick, dirty coating. Taste: too 
acute. Bitter taste in the month. Indifference to all food, even 
when thinking of it. Toothache, especially when infant nurses 
(Sil.). 

Pulse. — Quick, hard and irregular during chill and heat; slow, 
feeble in apyrexia, sometimes intermittent; more quiet after eat- 
ing; great swelling of the veins. 

Apyrexia. — Sweats easily ; great debility and exhaustuig night- 
sweats continue, follotved by ringing in the ears, and constricting 
sensation over vertex from ear to ear. A saffron yellowishness of 
the skin of scalp, face, neck, chest and abdomen (Chel.); with the 
characteristic anaemic and cachectic appearance, once seen, never 
forgotten. There is swelling of both hypochondria, which are 



150 CINCHONA. 

painful to pressure and worse by motion, bending, or coughing. 
Swelling, pain and pressure of epigastric region, with hyper- 
trophy of spleen Entire loss of appetite, with sinking feeling in 
stomach, or hunger easily satisfied. Bitter eructations and bitter 
vomiting (sour eructations and sour vomiting, Lye). The urine 
is scanty and turbid, with a yellow or brick-dust sediment; and 
general dropsical symptoms are often present. Bloated or tym- 
panitic abdomen, and hard spleen or liver in nursing children, 
with profuse sweating and great weakness (without profuse 
sweating, Ars.). 

This constitutes the paroxysm of Cinchona. But Cinchona has 
also another, an exception to the rule (probably a secondary re- 
action) which is often confounded with Arsenicum; hence its 
notice in this place. It has only two different stages — Chill and 
Heat. 

Chill. — With thirst {no thirst in regular chill). Febrile chill 
over the whole body from time to time during the day, especially 
upon forehead, which has cold sweat upon it; violent thirst a 
quarter of an hour after the first chill. (No thirst during chill or 
heat — which is long-lasting — in first paroxysm.) Cold hands in 
the evening, with hot cheeks; one hand is icy cold, the other 
warm; ice-cold feet, with warmth of rest of body. (This alternate 
heat of one part and coldness of another at same time belongs 
only to this paroxysm. ) 

Heat. — With thirst {no thirst in previous heat). Heat over 
the whole body, with fine, needle-like stitches in the skin, espe- 
cially of the throat, together with great thirst for cold water. 
Heat alternating with the chill; some thirst for cold water with 
the chill; heat follows half an hour or an hour after the chill. A. 
very transient sensation of heat over the whole body, with thirst 
for cold water. Sensation of flushes of heat, with thirst for cold 
drinks. Warmth and redness of the face, while the rest of the 
body was cold. The right hand is warm, the left cold; the hands 
are now warm, now cold; heat, with burning lips and thirst \ fol- 
lowed by sweat; chill, with thirst; then heat, zvith thirst ; the 
thirst continues eve?i during the apyrexia. Viole?it desire for cold 
drinks, accompanied with stinging in various parts of the skin. 



CINCHONA — CHIXIXUM SULPHURICUM. 151 

" The fever heat, accompanied with stinging over the whole body, 
seems to form an exception." — Hahnemann. 

The symptoms occurring before the chill and during the sweat 
a?id apyrexia are alike in both paroxysms. The thirst dtiring the 
chill, with alternate warmth and coldness of different parts at 
same time; the thirst during heat, with stinging or fine, needle- 
like stitches in skin, with heat of one part and coldness of another, 
are the characteristics of this paroxysm. 

Analysis. — The paroxysm anticipates from two to three hours 
each attack (Chin, s.); returns every seven or fourteen days; 
never at night; sweats profusely all over on being covered, or 
during sleep. 

The thirst of Cinchona is guiding. 

Prodrome; with thirst, intense, long before the chill (Caps., 

Eup.)- 

Chill; no thirst, or it disappears as chill increases. 

Heat; no thirst, as chill passes into fever thirst begins; as fever 
increases thirst decreases, when fever declines the thirst begins. 

Su'eat; with great thirst. No thirst during the nervous tension 
of chill and heat; great thirst during relaxation of sweat and 
before chill begins. 

Marsh intermittents, with pains in region of liver, vomiting of 
bile and great anguish. 

During apyrexia: exhausting sweats, anaemic and cachectic 
appearance; sensitiveness in hypochondria; scanty urine; loss of 
appetite; bloated abdomen. 



CHININUM SULPHURICUM. 

Characteristic. — Adapted to persons of dark complexion, 
bilious temperament ; cachectic, weakened from loss of blood. 

Whirling in the head like a windmill. 

Ringing in the ears, especially the left (especially the 
right, Cinch.). 

[ntennittent neuralgia, pains return with j^reat regularity 



152 CHININUM SULPHURICUM. 

Weak and nervous, a little exercise produces palpitation. 

Spine extremely sensitive and painful to pressure, espe- 
cially in the cervico-dorsal region. 

Great weakness, especially of lower extremities. 

" It will change an intermittent or remittent into a con- 
tinued fever, and I have known it to cause typhoid and 
pneumonia (by suppressing the original disease)." — Hale. 

Aggravation. — Contact (dorsal vertebrae); when covered 
(sweats profusely). 

Type. — Tertian; rarely quotidian. Every fourteen days. 
Each attack anticipating from one to three hours (Ars., Bry., 
Cinch., Nat., Nux). A perfect regularity both in the invasion 
and progress of the paroxysm, is always guiding. 

Time. — 10 or 1 1 a. m. ; 3 and 10 p. m 

Cause. — Marsh miasm; malaria. Acute intermittents of sup- 
posed malarial origin. 

Chill.— With thirst. Decided shaking chill at 3 P. M. 
(Apis, Ced.); chilliness, with paleness of the face, pain in the 
forehead and temples, and ringing in the ears at it A. m. Violent 
shaking chill followed by heat, then sweat for several hours. Violent 
chill with trembling in the limbs, so that she could scarcely walk; 
after going to bed she had violent heat with frequent yawning and 
sneezing, which was followed by a copious sweat. Violent 
paroxysm with shaking chill and severe pai?i in left hyPochondrium ; 
chilliness for an hour, with blue lips and nails (Cinch., Nux), 
paleness of the face and pain in the middle dorsal vertebrae ; 
increased hunger and constipation. 

Heat. — With excessive thirst. Intense heat over the whole 
skin, with redness of the face. External heat, with dryness of the 
mouth and fauces, obstinate constipation. Heat which passes 
over into sweat; over whole body; which gradually breaks into 
sweat, while perfectly quiet (Staph.). Delirium during heat. 
Flushes of heat in the face, with thirst at 4 p. m. " Great en- 
largement of veins of arms and legs." 

Sweat. — With thirst. Sweat breaks out over the whole body 



CHIXINUM SULPHURICTJM. 153 

from time to time, even during perfect quiet. Profuse sweat on 
the least motion (Bry.). Sweat during the morning sleep, so 
profuse that the bed was soaked with it. Profuse, exhausting 
sweats; nightly diarrhoea (nightly diarrhoea before the paroxysm, 
Puis.). Sweat often begins in latter part of hot stage, and 
relieves all symptoms of head and chest. (Nat. — sweat relieves 
all symptoms but headache, which is increased, Eup.). Drink- 
ing is grateful and affords relief. Most perspiration on parts 
pressed by clothing, back, axillary and perineal regions. 

Tongue. — Flabby; white or yellow coating in the centre, pale 
on the margin (reverse of Ant. t.). Taste bitter, with clean 
tongue. 

Pulse. — Large; full during chill and heat. Weak and trem- 
bling at close of paroxysm, ranging from 50 to 60 per minute. 

Apyrexia. — Constant excessive thirst during the entire 
apyrexia, which in daily fever is short, the parox5 r sm closely re- 
sembling a remittent or continuous fever. But whether it be short 
or long, always distinguished by great debility and prostration 
(Ars.); the perspiration is exhausting (all the discharges are de- 
bilitating and weakening, Carbo a.). Canine hunger more 
marked, if possible, than in Cinchona, even in nervous enfeebled 
patients. Light exercise readily produces palpitation. Obstruc- 
tions of the portal system are especially marked, and the spleen 
swollen and painful. Ringing and burning in the ears, accom- 
panied with vertigo and a sensation of enlargement of head. 
Hiccup may become a troublesome symptom in any stage, but 
especially in apyrexia. Urine fatty and deposits a straw-yellow, 
brick-dust sediment; urates in large quantities. Spine painfid on 
pressure in all slages of paroxysm. The sensitiveness of the 
spinous processes of the dorsal vertebrae should be borne in mind, 
for Quinine acts specifically upon the spinal cord and the nerves 
proceeding from it. 

Cinchona. Chininum sul. 

Time.— All periods, except night. Time.— 10 A. M., 3 and 10 P. M. 

Variable type. Every fourteen days. Regular paroxysms, tertian type. 
Anticipating one to three hours. Anticipates two and a half hours 

every day.

Prodrome. — Premonitory symp- 
toms are wanting. 

Chill. — With thirst, paleness of 
face, lips and nails blue. Dorsal 
vertebra painful on pressure. 

Heat. — With thirst, hot, dry skin, 
dry mouth and fauces; flushed face; 
delirium. Pain in spine on pressure. 

Sweat. — With great thirst. Sweats 
profusely during perfect quiet; morn- 
ing sweat. Pain in lumbar vertebrce 
and sacrum on pressure. 

Apyrexia. — ■ With great thirst. 
Apyrexia short; sweat hardly ceases 
before chill begins again. Pain all 
down the spinal column on pressure. 
Spleen swollen and painful. 

Cold stage may be long, light, ir- 
regular, or wanting in acute cases. 

Contra-indicated where there is no 
thirst during cold or hot stages. 
Perspiration must succeed the heat, 
or w T ill be contra-indicated. 



Where the indications for any remedy are not very clear, the 
paroxysm incomplete but regular, Chin. sul. 30th or 200th may 
clear up or cure the case. The highest potencies are often anti- 
dotal when the symptoms are similar. 

" In recent iutermittents, there may or may not be a chill, but 
there must be fever, and it must be followed by sweat — and it gen- 
erally is profuse and exhausting — or Quinine will be utterly use- 
less." "As a rule, chronic, long-lasting inter mittents are only 
aggravated by Quinine." — Burt. 

The cachexia produced by long continued massive doses of 
Chin, sul., such as rheumatism of the extremities, chronic diar- 
rhoea, ascites and organic disease of the liver and spleen, although 
now a constitutional malady, requires antidotal treatment. This 
maybe most speedily removed by Arn., Ars., Carbo v., Fer., 
Lach., Nat., Puis., as indicated by symptoms of each individual 
case. 



CHININUM SULPHURICUM. 155 

Samuel Swan, M. D., of New York, has reported some bad 
cases of quinine cachexia, cured with Chin. s. 10 m. and cm. 
potencies. — See last paragraph Hahnemann ' s Chronic Diseases, 
Vol. I, p. 195-196, as authority. 

Chin. s. is often indicated in intermittent fever, and when indi- 
cated will cure more promptly and more safely in the potencies 
than in the crude form. There is little doubt that it is oftener 
prescribed than indicated, and that it will, in a majority of cases, 
suppress the paroxysm — without reference to time of appearance, 
whether with or without chill, heat, sweat, thirst, etc. , etc. — -there 
is as little doubt. But Morphine will also suppress pain and diar- 
rhoea, quite as effectually as Quinine will the fever paroxysm, 
and the homeopathic physician, half-read or not read at all, in his 
Materia Medica, " borrows both the theory and the Quinine from 
his allopathic brother, for the same reason that he borrows 
his hypodermic syringe and morphine," with which to relieve the 
pain and diarrhoea, viz., it is a "short cut'" to palliate the pain, 
relieve and thus retain his patient, and avoid the necessity of 
studying the case. There is a wide difference between suppress- 
ing and curi?ig a fever paroxysm, or any other disease The 
homeopath ca?i and ought to cure, not "break up the chill," 
"suppress" or "cover up" the disease. L,eave the "breaking 
up of the paroxysm " to the allopath who invented the phrase; 
"rational (?) medicine" can do it "scientifically." 

John Ellis, M. D., when Professor L,. M. Jones, M. D., of Michigan* 

of Practice in Cleveland College, in who has had an extensive experience 

treatment of " congestive chill," ad- in the treatment of "congestive

156 CHININUM SULPHURICUM— CINA. 

Dr. Lippe says: " I lived for ten years in the country, where 
ague prevailed, and never resorted to Quinine. I cured my 
cases. I have always been of the opinion that a physician who 
professes to be a homeopath must cure all his cases of intermit- 
tent fever with homeopathic potentized remedies, under the law 
of the similars. ' ' 

I am convinced that every case of " congestive chill," like 
Asiatic cholera, can be cured more safely and speedily by the 
potentized remedy than in any other way, if it can be cured at 
all; and the mortality under homeopathic treatment will never 
approach 66 per cent. ; the record of the dominant school. 

CLINICAL. 

" I have recently made several satisfactory cures with Chin. s. Two or 
three of them with one dose each of the 200th, and as many others with the 
6th. I think this is an important remedy with us, and that it succeeds 
better in attenuation than in the crude form. The crude drug never gave 
me such satisfaction . Some of the indications in a number of recent cases 
were clear intermissions, regular paroxysms, clean or tolerably clean tongue, 
and profuse sweats.'"— H. V. Miller. 

Analysis. — Regular paroxysm; clear apyrexia; anticipating 
from 1-3 hours; clean tongue; painful congestion of spine; thirst 
in all stages; profuse exhausting sweat. 

As in Natrum and Arsenic the potencies will always cure when 
the remedy is indicated. We must not overlook the fact that it 
is in the psoric and tubercular patient that we find the obstinate 
and chronic types of fevers, and no amount of crude quinine or 
any other drug, will cure such cases, though it may suppress the 
paroxysm and irretrievably injure the patient.

"Predominance of coldness, with cold sweat and continued 
hunger ." — J. S. Douglas. 

Heat. — With thirst; mostly in face and head (with red face

for some time previous to fever, then loss of appetite and desire 
only for dainties, with vomiting and whitish diarrhoea. General 
"worm symptoms" predominate; restless, frightened sleep; urine 
turbid, turns milky and semi-solid after standing. 

The vomiting during prodrome, often during and always after 
the paroxysm, succeeded by canine hunger with clean tongue, 
should always call attention to Cina. 

In Antimonium crud. the same condition may be present but 
the tongue is covered with a thick, whitish coating. 

In Ipecacuanha the tongue is sometimes clean, but there is 
nausea, and the vomiting predominates over the diarrhoea. 

The prostration of Veratrum is wanting, and the mental sym- 
ptoms are entirely different. 

" The child is very whining, peevish and complaining; weeps

Characteristic. — Adapted to the rheumatic, gouty diathesis ; 
persons of a robust vigorous constitution. Old people's dis- 
eases. 

External impressions, such as bright light, strong odors, 
contact, grief, misdeeds of others, make him quite beside him- 
self (Nux, Staph.).

is cold. From left to right. 

Smell very acute ; the odor of cooking food causes nausea 
(Ars., Sep.). 

Aversion to food ; loathing even the sight or still more the 
smell of it.

tent and remittent. 

Low fevers following epidemic dysentery, 

Time. — Hour not marked. 

Prodrome. — Thirst for cold water; drinking is followed by 
coldness in stomach and beginning of chill. 



COLCHICUM AUTUMN ALE. 165 

Chill. — And shivering, running down the back, through the 
limbs; even in a warm room. Nose, cheeks and extremities 
cold. Chill} 7 shivering in stomach and abdomen. Coldness in 
evening > by warm covering, but returning on going to bed as a 
chilliness, with chattering of the teeth, disappearing after a short 
time while lying still; it threatened to return on motion. 

Heat. — External dry heat the whole night, with violent, un- 
quenchable thirst. Internal with attacks of flushes of heat, or 
short flushes of heat intermingled with chilliness, even near the 
warm stove. Great heat of the face, of the hands and feet. 

Sweat. — Wanting or suppressed; or profuse, easily produced; 
soil r- sm el ling s u <ea t. 

Tongue.— Heavy, stiff, insensible; bright red; covered with a 
downy white fur (milky white coating, Ant. c. ). Desire for, 
or aversion to food, with loathing when merely looking at it, and 
still more when smelling it; the smell of broth nauseates, and that 
offish, eggs, or fat meat, almost makes him faint. 

Nausea with great restlessness; on assuming the upright posi- 
tion, great inclination to vomit. 

Apyrexia. — Never clear. The gastric symptoms which come 
to the surface during this stage are usually characteristic. 

Analysis. — In Colchicum we frequently find the genus epidemi- 
cus for the intermittents so often met with late in autumn, when 
epidemic dysentery prevails. The gastric and abdominal symp- 
toms are guiding; especially sensitive to odor of food. 

A Case. — In the autumn of 1866, h. C, set. 30, was attacked with ague of 
the quotidian type. The case lasted some eighteen days, a chill every day, 
and every day alike. It began at 10 A. M. with violent thirst, intense head- 
ache, greatly aggravated by the slightest motijn, so that the patient lay on 
his right side with his head almost down to his knees, and moved only when 
the distress was so intense he could not avoid it. Wanted to be covered, 
but no relief from the covering. Chill lasted about an hour, and was fol- 
lowed by intense heat lasting about two hours, with continuance of thirst 
and headache, when the sweat began, with immediate relief of all the symp- 
toms. He received a single dose of Bryo nia 200 The next day the chill 
returned and I got this additional symptom: he could not bear the sight Of 
rmelloffood. This suggested Colchicum, but, careful not to spoil the case 
by too hasty prescriptions, I gave Sac. lac. I took time to study Colchicum- 
My attention being given almost wholly to the fever symptoms, I concluded 



166 COLCHICUM AUTUMNALE — CONTDM MACULATUM. 

Colchicum did not cover the case, and gave Nat. 200, one dose. The chill 
returned the next day; but Hering says Natrum is a slow acting remedy, 
and I thought we must give it time. I waited four days with just the same 
chill every day. Soon it appeared that every day the chill began with a 
desire for cold water, immediately after swallowing which he begins to be 
cold in the stomach, the coldness at once becoming general. It is not nec- 
essary for me to mention the various remedies he received, as I floundered 
day after day trying to cure intermittent fever, with that symptom of the 
appetite prominent before me all the time. At length a friend called, and I 
asked him to go with me to see the case. He did so, and, making his ex- 
amination, took copious notes of the symptoms, till he struck that symptom 
of the appetite, when he whispered to me "Colchicum." "Yes," I said, 
"but that is the only symptom of it in the case." He finished his examina- 
tion, and we gave Sac. lac. The next morning my friend called at my 
office and said: "That is Colchicum or Cocculus; I am not sure which." 
"Well," I said, "if you say Colchicum, here goes;" and putting a vial of 
Fincke's 21 m. in my pocket, I went at once to see my patient. I found 
him in a chill, as usual. I gave him Sac. lac. in solution, once in two hours, 
and left a powder of Colchicum 2\ m. to be taken as soon as the paroxysm 
was over. He never had another chill. Moral: Treat the patient, not the 
disease. — Wm. A. Hawley, M. D.

tastes bitter. 

"Profuse discharge of watery saliva during febrile stage.'" — 
Hahnemann. 

" Intermittent fever, with sore throat and nausea." — LjppE. 

Apyrexia. — Usually clear, though gastric symptoms may be 
present at times (clear with good appetite, Canch.). Coughs 
more than in sweating stage. As in Aranea and Bovista, the chill 
predominates, the other stages being light, sometimes only par- 
tially developed. 



DULCAMARA. 

Characteristic. — Adapted to persons of phlegmatic, scrofu- 
lous constitutions ; restless, irritable ; subject to catarrhal, 
rheumatic or skin affections, brought on or aggravated by- 
cold, damp, rainy weather, or sudden changes in hot weather

worse when weather suddenly becomes colder; caused by ex- 
posure; living in damp rooms, sleeping in a damp bed. 

Chill.— With violent thirst. Commencing in or spreading 
from the back; not relieved by warmth (relieved by hot applica- 
tions, Caps.); shaking, with a feeling of coldness, or actual cold- 
ness over the whole body, so that he could not get warm near the 
hot stove, with shuddering from time to time. Chilliness of the 
back, without thirst, in the open air, but especially in a draught 
(Canth.j. Chilliness mostly toward evening, over the back,

taste. Ptyalism; the gums are loose and spongy; saliva tena- 
cious, soap-like. Great desire for cold drinks. 

Analysis. — Like Aranea, the fevers to which Dulcamara is 
adapted, are rare. They are caused by rheumatic exposure, 
living in damp rooms, sleeping in a damp bed; during cold, 
rainy, changeable weather; but the fever of Aranea comes on 
with great regularity, while that of Dulcamara has no reference 
to time. Compare Crocus and Staphysagria. 

Typhoid fever, when patient distinctly remembers having 
taken cold; tongue clean, stools yellow, liquid, with rumbling, 
cutting, digging or griping pain in umbilical region or whole 
abdomen. 



ELATERIUM. 

Characteristic. — Cholera morbus-like attacks ; copious, 
liquid, frothy dejections ; profuse flow of watery serum from 
mucous membrane.

whole body. Unlike Apis, Hepar, Ign., Rhus, in which the 
urticaria appears during different stages of the paroxysm. 

Relations. — Compare, Colch., Crot. t, Sec, Ver., in diar- 
rhceic and choleraic symptoms. 

Type. — Quotidian; double quotidian; tertian; double tertian;

ing of a horse; lachrymatiou and profuse coryza. 

Heat. — With intense thirst; violent, tearing pains throughout 
the head, more especially on the vertex. Increased cutting pains 
in bowels, and pains in extremities; the pains shooting to the very 
tips of the fingers and toes, and then shooting back again into the 
body. Nausea, vomiting and copious discharges from the bowels of 
a frothy character. 

Sweat. — Copious, with gradual relief of all the symptoms. 

Tongue. — Coated with a dirty brown fur; taste bitter. 

Apyrexia. — Urticaria; intolerable itching > by rubbing. 

Analysis. — If urticaria appear all over the body after suppres- 
sion of intermittent fever, Elaterium is the remedy. Cutting 
pains in bowels, shooting to tips of fingers and toes. Copious 
frothy discharges. When chills were suppressed urticaria de- 
veloped over whole surface, with a disordered state of mind, 
characterized by an irresistible propensity to wander from home, 
even in the night, and range the woods.

half an hour by burning heat; the skin is hot, with thirst, the 
fever lasted whole night until 10 a. m. next day. Coldness < by 
drinking cold water (Caps.); after a drink, shivering from head 
to foot with chattering of the teeth. Terrible coldness after drink- 
ing, and as if ice water were rising and falling through a cylind- 
rical opening in left lung. Great sensitiveness to cold. Right 
leg up to knee, cold as ice. Arms cold by putting hand in cold 
water. 

Heat. — With thirst, alternating with chilliness. Dry heat 
from 7 to 9 p. m., followed by chill till 10 P. M. Fever at 7 
p. m., with less chill, more violent heat, but little sweat; sleep

breathing the whole night. Flushes of heat, with redness of the 
face and ears. 

Sweat. — All over. Sweat cold and profuse. Sweat on fore-

EUCALYPTUS. 

For many years this has been a popular remedy in Aus- 
tralia, Italy, Algiers, some places in Spain and Provence, 
France. The leaves possess a very penetrating odor, which 



EUCALYPTUS. 183 

is diffused to a great distance, and it appears to possess the 
power of antidoting marsh miasm and thus exercising a pre- 
ventive action. The Abbe Feles Charmatant, missionary 
priest to the African missions, Algiers, writes : "I will give 
you some facts about our Eucalyptus plantations at Maison- 
Carree, which is now become our Mother-House. This estate 
was, six years ago, an immense territory covered with brush, 
dwarf-palms, and rendered very unhealthy by the neighbor- 
hood of the stagnant waters of Harach. In 1869 and 1870, 
as fast as the brush was destroyed, we planted a considerable 
quantity of Eucalyptus in groups, or beside paths the whole 
length of our fields and gardens, and the result was most 
marvellous ; for the intermittent fever, which often stopped 
our orphans in their agricultural labor, has gradually disap- 
peared, so that to-day this domain, formerly the most subject 
to fevers, is now one of the most healthy suburbs of Algiers." 

Our pathogenesis of this remedy has not been sufficient to 
give us any definite indications for its use. It is used as a 
substitute for Quinine by the other school of practice. 

Characteristic. — Excessive salivation. 

Mental exhilaration ; irresistible desire to move about, sen- 
sation of buoyancy and increased strength. Congestive head- 
ache in the anaemic, > pain and induces sleep.

Type. — Intermittent, quotidian, tertian, double tertian; remit- 
tent, continued, malarial, typhoid; all fevers tend to low types 
with subnormal temperature. Relapsing fevers of tuberculous 
subjects; the so-called La Grippe, sporadic influenza. 

Fevers of a relapsing, obstinate and prolonged character, of a 



184 EUCALYPTUS— EUPATORIUM PERFOLIATUM. 

miasmatic origin, in which the spleen becomes affected early in 
the disease. It is at first swollen and sensitive, then becomes 
more resistant, harder, bunchy on its surface. Vertigo is pro- 
nounced in all its stages. There is a dull congestive headache; 
malaise; rheumatic pains of a jerking, tearing, stitching char- 
acter, < at night. 

Sweat. — Profuse, offensive, exhausting. 

When convalescing from malarial fevers; chronic malarial 
affections; quinine cachexia. 



EUPATORIUM PERFOLIATUM. 

Characteristic. — Adapted to diseases of old people ; worn- 
out constitutions, especially from inebriety ; cachexia, from 
prolonged or frequent attacks of bilious or intermittent fevers. 

Bruised feeling, as if broken, all over the body (Arm, 
Lac can., Pyr.). 

Bone pains ; affecting the back, limbs, head, chest, particu- 
larly the wrists as if dislocated, the eyeballs ; the more general 
and severe the better adapted. Like Bryonia, they are ac- 
companied by headache, constipation and pain in hepatic 
region, but here the similitude ends. 

In Bryonia, the perspiration is profuse, easily excited by 
motion, and the pains compel patient to lie still upon the 
painful side. 

In Eupatorium the sweat is scanty or wanting, the pains 
cause restlessness without any relief from motion, and there 
is entire inability to lie on left side. 

Pains as if broken ; come quickly and go away as quickly 
(Bell., Mag. p., Eup. pur. — reverse of Stan.). 

Vertigo : sensation as if falling to the left (cannot turn the 
head to the left for fear of falling, Col., Con.).

then only when changed from original type by Quinine. All 
types may be cured by it. Anticipating, remittent, bilious, 
malarial; sporadic La Grippe. 

Time. — 7 A. M.; 7 to 9 P. M.; 7 to 9 a. m. one day, lighter 
chill at 12 M. next day; 10 A. M.; 12 to 2 p. M. ; 5 p. M. Will 
cure without reference to time, when totality of symptoms are 
present. 

Prodrome. — Insatiable thirst, but drinking causes nausea and 
vomiting, and hastens the chill. Sick stomach and thirst night 
before the paroxysm. Thirst, sometimes for warm drinks (Case, 
Ced ), one to three hours before the chill; he knows the chill is 
coming because " he cannot drink enough'" (knows chill is com- 
ing because she is thirsty, Caps., Cinch., Nat.); yawning, 
stretching, pain in back, especially over right ilium, and the bo?ies 
of extremities as if broken. Colicky pain in the upper abdomen 
(Coc); painful soreness of the eyeballs. Must be covered, before 
and during chill (covered during entire paroxysm, Nux). 
Hungry (Cina). 

Chill. — With intense thirst; but drinking water increases the 
nausea, and causes bitter vomiting (drinking causes vomiting, 
Ars. — drinking increases the chill, Caps.). Chilliness with ex- 
cessive trembling and nausea (from the least motion). Chilliness 
in the morning, heat throughout the whole day, but no perspira- 
tion. Chill may leave for a few minutes and return again, but 
no heat in the interval (reverse of Ars., which has alternate chill 
and heat). Shivering increased by motion; intense, throbbing 
headache; pain in back and bones of extremities; moaning with 



186 BUPATORIUM PERFOLIATIM. 

pain; distressing pain in stomach and spleen. Yawning and 
stretching; more shivering than the degree of coldness warrants. 
Must be warmly covered (Nux). Begins in or may spread from, 
the back, or runs up the back (begins in back between the should- 
ers, Caps., Polyp. — begins in lumbar region, Eup. purp.). 
At close of chill, nausea and vomiting of bitter fluids and bile, 
aggravated by drinking, or after every draft vomiting (Caps, 
—sour vomiting at close of chill, Lye ). Chilly one day, colic 
the next. 

Heat. — Preceded by thirst, which is often felt most between 
chill and heat (Ars., Cinch.), or there may be little thirst, when 
cephalalgia and bone pains are increased; trembling, faint from 
motion; great weakness; cannot raise the head while the fever 
lasts; cheeks mahogany red; throbbing headache; internal sore- 
ness from head to foot, all over the body (Arn.); sleep with 
moaning. Seldom any nausea during this stage, but bitter vomit- 
ing (sour vomiting, Lye.) occurs at close of heat if absent at close 
of chill. Heat and lachrymation. Much shivering even during 
heat. " A swallow of water will make him shiver" (will make 
him shudder, Caps.). Pain in scrobiculus cordis. Fever in the 
forenoon, preceded by thirst early in the morning, but no chill; 
attended by fatiguing cough, and not followed by perspiration. 

Sweat. — Generally scanty, or absent altogether, in which case 
the headache continues for several hours after fever is gone (Ars.). 
When there is much perspiration, it brings relief of all pains ex- 
cept cephalalgia, which is increased (sweat relieves all pains, 
Nat.). Coldness during nocturnal sweat. Perspiration; at night 
giving no relief; during sweat the slightest movement of patient, 
or jar of bed, will cause a transient chill to run through the frame, 
especially along the back on uncovering (Nux); not debilitating 
if profuse (reverse of Cinch, and Carbo v.). When chill is 
severe, sweat is light or wanting and vice versa. 

Tongue. — Coated white or yellow. Taste, insipid, bitter; 
food has no taste (Dros. ). Desire for ice cream; thirst. Pale- 
ness of mucous membraue of mouth (Fer.). Cracks at the com- 
missures of the lips (Nat.). Canine hunger after Quinine. 

Ayprexia. — Imperfect; very little remission. Jaundiced hue of 



EUPATORIUM PERFOLIATUM.

skin and conjunctiva; loose cough; if any sweat, it is attended 
with chilliness and worse from motion and uncovering. Bone 
pains are present in every stage, and only gradually disappear with 
disappearance of sweat. Feels worse morning of one day, and 
afternoon of next. The severity of vomiting has relation to time 
of eating; the nearer the meals the surer to vomit; first of ingesta, 
afterwards of bile, which is usually bitter. 

" Eupatorium has been a favorite remedy with the most suc- 
cessful practitioners where remittent and intermittent fevers have 
prevailed epidemically in miasmatic districts, along rivers, at 
fisheries, on marshes, and their several neighborhoods." — C. J. 
Hempel, ^. C, I., p. 696. 

" Eupatorium p erf . , both by its pathogenesis and clinical verifi- 
cation in practice, is one of the most valuable of the Materia 
Medica in the treatment of western intermittents." — J. S. Doug- 
las. 

To this statement I would add that its efficacy is not bounded 
by latitude. Sometimes it corresponds to the genus epidemicus, 
and will alone cure nearly every case, particularly if occurring in 
autumn. It vies with Arsenicum, Cinchona and Natruni mur. as 
one of our sheet anchors in this disease; its symptoms are " clear- 
cut" and well defined; its action prompt and decisive. It has 
cured in all potencies from the tincture to the cm.

"Iron is evidently one of the most precious remedies against 
the cachectic condition; but I admit that its action is due to 
neither the chemical reasons that have been imagined and which 
have been current even on the lips of our school, nor the massive 
doses which naturally flow from these considerations; it is by its 
dynamic virtues that Ferrum acts and confers all its benefits. — A.

"For intermittents or remittents which are contracted at 
summer watering places and 'wintered over,' making their ap- 
pearance in early spring, Gelsemium is a remedy of great value." 
— Ludlam. (Ars., Eup., Lach.). 

Gelsemium is one of the few remedies that have the regular 
periodic fever, without chill. It divides the honors equally with 
Arsenicum in the treatment of children's intermittents, from 
which it is distinguished by the regularity of the paroxysm, 
absence of thirst, and the burning fever and restlessness. The 
child is neither so weak and prostrated nor pale and feeble as in 
the Arsenicum fever. Sensation of falling is a genuine symptom, 
often occurring in children. Gelsemium is always to be thought 
of in recent uncomplicated cases, where chill begins in extremities 
(in chronic cases, Nat. mur.). Also where a remittent takes on 
the intermittent type, or vice versa. Tendency to typhoid.

sweat (itching, stinging, nettle-rash before and during chill, 
Hep. — during chill and heat, Rhus — see Dul.). Patient is 
hungry after the fever (Eup.). 

" The heat of Ignatia is almost always external ; also, there is 
very seldom thirst with this heat, even in intermittent fever; 
hence Ignatia is able to cure homeopathically and permanently i?i 
the smallest dose, intermittent fever which presents thirst during chill 
but not during heat." — Hahnemann.

" During the chill thirsty, seeks external warmth; during the 
fever heat, no thirst, external -warmth very pleasant ; sitting up 
relieves the chill." — Hahnemann. 

Ignatia is adapted to recent mild cases, or long-lasting and 
complicated ones, particularly those occurring among women and

nausea and vomiting, dyspnoea, stitches in the chest, finally 
copious perspiration." — Lippe. 

If paroxysm has been suppressed by Quinine, Ipecac- 
uanha is all the more indicated. 

Relapses from improprieties in diet always an additional indica- 
tion for Ipecacuanha. This is a very common cause of a return 
of paroxysm and one frequently overlooked by physicians. In 
all forms and types of fever, reckless or over eating is perhaps 
the most frequent cause of relapse. 

The persistent nausea, which does not always amount to 
vomiting, that is usually present in every stage, is the " guiding 
symptom" of Ipecac, although it may be and often is indicated 
when-'neither nausea nor vomiting is present. When fever returns 
in another form, after suppression by Quinine, and symptoms do 
not clearly point to any remedy, if nausea or vomiting were pres- 
ent in first onset of disease, Ipecac, will often cure. 

In his "Forty Years' Practice," Jahr places Ipecacuanha at the 
head of the list of remedies in the treatment of intermittent fever, 
and recommends its administration in commencing the treatment 
of every case. He says: " I almost always commence the treat- 
ment with Ipecac. 30 , unless some other remedy is distinctly indi- 
cated. I give a few globules in water, a teaspoonful every three 
hours, beginning immediately after the chill. By pursuing this 
course I have cured many cases of ' fever and ague ' by the first 
prescription, thus saving myself a good deal of unnecessary seeking 
and comparing. If it does not help altogether, it changes the 
character of the fever so that Arn., Ars., Ign., Nux, etc., will 
complete the cure." 

This advice is also given by J. S. Douglas in his work on Inter- 
mittent Fever, p. 80; and a number of our closest and most suc- 
cessful prescribers have adopted it, with apparent success. H. V. 
Miller says: " I am apt to give Ipecac, when I do not clearly see 
the indications for another remedy. Then it serves to clear up 
the case and prepare the way for some other remedy to complete 
the cure." 

I cannot endorse the above indiscriminate use of Ipecac, on 
principle; it is empiric practice, and will certainly be attended 



IPECACUANHA. 221 

with many mortifying failures. That it is infinitely superior to 
the more prevalent, empiric and indiscriminate use of Quinine, 
and attended with less failures and less constitutional derange- 
ments, I have no doubt at all. If the attack can be traced to 
dietetic irregularities, this advice of Jahr is undoubtedly sound; 
the best proof being its success at the bed side. A case like the 
following very often occurs in practice: 

A messenger is sent many miles for some medicine for " ague;" 
and that is all the information we can obtain. If we do not pre- 
scribe some one else will; and rather than lose a patient and have 
it said that we cannot cure " so simple a thing as ague " we make 
a "chance shot," and, unless we have found the " genus epi- 
demicus " of the season, are as apt to fail as to cure. 

This is, in my opinion, the opportunity to follow Jahr's advice 
and exhibit Ipecac; and it would be infinitely better for our 
patient, our school of medicine, and our professional reputation, if 
we did so instead of sending Quinine. Ipecac, covers a much 
larger range of symptoms than Quinine, and, in a case like the 
above, will cure more patients. 

In regard to this routine habit of prescribing Ipecac, Dr. 
Charge says: " I have known practitioners, highly commendable 
in other respects, who always began with Ipecac , under the pre- 
tense that, after it, the case was better outlined and the choice of 
the true specific was consequently easier. This is simply an 
encouragement to indolence. Ipecac, presents itself to us with so 
clearly denned features, that it is impossible 'with a little attention 
not to recognize at once the cases which call for it. 

Analysis. — Persistent nausea. Indiscretions in diet may 
have caused the original attack, or the relapse. Chill < in a 
warm room and from external heat. Suppressed by abuse of 
quinine. When the paroxysm is changed and masked by drug- 
ging 

Chill not marked and distinct, being either a chilliness up and 
down the back or a mingling of chills and heat; half an hour the 
longest. If thirst in chill, may continue during chill and heat, 
although rarely so severe in heat. Great lassitude and weariness 
during chill. Chill usually followed by nausea and vomiting,

four or five hours, and even all night. Sweat light, partial, on 
single parts (Bry.), sour. If mixed with Quinine cachexia, 
profuse, sou?', and soaking the bed through. 

In the irregularity of the different stages of the paroxysm, as 
well as the universality of its indication, Ipecacuanha resembles 
Arsenic, and should always t>2 thought of where indiscretions in 
diet may have been the cause of original attack, or have produced 
a relapse. The greatest prostration occurs during chill (the pros- 
tration of Arsenic, is greatest after heat).

Apyrexia. — Not pronounced; but the concomitants are often 
guiding symptoms. Constant sense of fulness in the stomach and 
abdomen as if they would burst. Repletion after eating ever so 
little. Rumbling in the bowels; obstinate constipation. Cough, 
with thick, yellow, salty expectoration. Red, sandy sediment i?i 
the urine (Natr.). Patient cannot bear to be left alone (wants 
to be alone, Cinch., Nux). 

This remedy is frequently rejected, when indicated, in inter- 
mittent fever, if the paroxysm does not occur at 4 p. m., and the 
red, sandy sediment is not present in the urine. The sediment 
rarely occurs in acute cases; and the most severe and most fre- 
quent paroxysm is the evening one at 6 or 7 p. m., which lasts all 
night. The flatule?ice, sour eructations, sour taste, sour sweat, 
sour vomiting, are much more reliable guides, because more 
often present. No single symptom, however guiding, is sufficient 
to warrant a prescription. If the totality corresponds, L,ycopo- 
dium will cure, irrespective of time of paroxysm. The general 
symptoms of Lycopodium are aggravated from 4. to 8 P. M.,,and 
if present, constitute an additional indication.

MALARIA OFFICINALIS. 

To Dr. G. W. Bowen, Fort Wayne, Indiana, we are in- 
debted for this valuable remedy. It is the product of dried, 
peat-like, decomposed vegetable matter from a marsh, placed 
in closed jars, covered with water and allowed to stand from 
one to three weeks at a temperature of 90 ° F. The longer 
it was allowed to stand the more intensely offensive it be- 
came. This was in 1862. Fragmentary provings only have 
been made. First by paid laboring men, under Dr. Bowen, 
from the crude drug, by inhalation of the gases evolved dur- 
ing the process of re-decomposition, presumably similar in 
modus operandi to the infection from marsh malaria, with 
which the author had to contend in diseases met with in 
daily practice during the summer and autumn. Many pa- 
tients were suffering from malarial affections — the so-called 
dumb ague — which were very intractable, as this type of 
autumnal fevers generally is in the West. It was to find a 
remedy for this nondescript type that the experiments were 
undertaken, and it is to be regretted that the symptoms 



250 MALARIA OFFICINALIS. 

elicited from inhaling the fumes in the various stages of 
decay were not expressed in the original language of the 
provers. Provings also with 30 potency by Yingling : 

After first week : Headache, nausea, white-coated tongue, 
gastric distress, continuing two or three days. 

After second week: Increased headache, nausea, aversion 
to food, distress in stomach, liver, spleen, and on the third 
day chills, which would have continued indefinitely if not 
antidoted. 

After third week : To the above symptoms were added ex- 
treme lassitude, nausea, loss of appetite, continued fever with 
aches almost unbearable, and profound weakness with typhoid 
condition. 

Type. — Quotidian, tertian, remittent, continued, malarial, 
typhoid. 

" Dumb-ague;" of every type; from drug suppression; from 
" ague cures." 

Time. — No marked periodicity. All hours, both day and 
night. 

Cause. — Malarial exposure, especially during summer and 
autumn drought; suppression of fever paroxysms by quinine and 
" ague cures;" cases spoiled by drugging. Rheumatic, psoric, 
tubercular diathesis. 

Prodrome. — Aching in the hands, wrists, elbows; feet, ankles, 
knees. 

A tired aching in the wrists and thighs, abdomen and chest. 

A general sense of weariness. 

Chill. — Chilly sensation in left forearm, followed by chilly feel- 
ings in hands and fingers; feet cold with sensation as if chilliness 
would creep up the legs. A few moments later knees feel cold. 

A sense of coldness ascending over body from the legs. 

Backache; lumbar region feels tired. 

General sense of weariness from a short walk, especially 



MALARIA OFFICINALIS. 251 

through pelvis, sacral region and upper thighs; inclined to lie 
down to rest. 

At times I felt as if I should become cold or chilly; then again 
I felt as if I should become feverish or hot, though neither is 
very marked. 

Gaping, yawning and desire to stretch. 

Legs restless, fidgety; must stretch and move them. 

" Felt as I did before having ague twenty-five years ago." 

Face and head feel warm as if flushed; becomes general over 
bod}'-, feverish. 

Analysis. — Malaria officinalis seems to bear the same relation 
to chronic malarial affections that Ipecac, Natrum, Cinchona and 
its alkaloids do to acute. It is especially effective in "spoiled 
cases" coming from the tropics and the suppressive treatment of 
the dominant school, where the type has been changed and it is 
impossible to distinguish the symptoms of the original disease 
from drug effects. 

The following cures by Dr. W. A. Yingling, Emporia, Kansas, 
reported in Trans. I. H. A., 1900, may aid, in absence of verified 
provings, in ascertaining its range of action: 

Case I. October, 189S. Mr. C. F , 28, a Kansas volunteer. After a 

week of wet and chilling weather in camp he came home sick. Had a chill 
followed by fever. Aching over entire body. Nausea, retching and vomit- 
ing of bile. Wants cold drinks. Cannot eat; vomits everything, except 
once could eat raw tomatoes. Craves acids. Tongue, thickly coated white.

thirst, breath foul. Pulse weak; flashes of heat all the time. Has taken 
much quinine and " salts for costiveness." Stool hard, and at times bleeding 
after stool. Intense headache as if it would burst. 

Malaria off. m. 

Dr. George Hering, of London, hints at its use in tuberculosis, 
quoting from notes of Dr. Casanova, made nearly forty years 
ago: 

'' I know several localities in South America, Africa and Spain 
where the marsh miasma has unquestionably arrested and cured 
that fatal scourge of the human race, phthisis pulmonalis, with- 
out any other treatment or restriction in food or drink." 

" Miasmatic places are the most healthy places — for some of us 
at least. Now, I can give some support to this statement of Dr. 
Casanova. I was once on board a Liverpool steamer which put 
into Aspinwall, on the swampy Isthmus of Panama, for nine 
days. Upon our return home several of the sailors, otherwise 
healthy fellows, were prostrated by Panama fever, whilst I myself, 
who had formerly suffered from tubercular disease of the lungs, 
was totally unaffected."

pletely developed, the hands or ends of fingers, and the toes or 
feet, and the end of the nose, becoming very cold." — Dunham. 

" Quartan Intermittents were the pest of my life until I struck

and the excessive coldness of legs (not thighs) have been the lead- 
ing symptoms. — A. L Fisher.

"It is taught by every writer, that the chill must come on 
about ii a. m., for Natrum muriaticum to be curative. This is 
all bosh and nonsense. I have cured many, many cases of chronic 
and acute intermittents where the chill has come on late in the 
afternoon. If the rest of the symptoms indicate this remedy, it 
makes no difference when the chill commences. And let me say 
here, that Natrum will cure more cases of intermittent fever, both 
acute and chronic, especially the latter, than any known remedy. 
With the thirtieth potency, I have cured several hundred cases 
with this drug alone. It is the best friend a physician has in a 
malarious district." — Burt. 

While it is true that time is but one element in a case, for one 
symptom, however prominent, never overides the totality, and 
that we must always obtain the totality or majority of symptoms, 
it is also true that the morning paroxysm predominates, especially 
at ii A. m. 



NATRUM MURIATICUM. 269 

" During my travels in Hungary, in the malarious plains of the 
Theiss and Maros, as well as during a prolonged residence among 
the Guarosi Indians, of South America, I used a cheap remedy 
which radically cures every case of ague in twenty-four hours by 
taking one or, at the utmost, two doses of it. I order a good 
handful of fine, clean kitchen salt to be thoroughly roasted — if 
possible, in a new pan, or at least, in one thoroughly cleansed — 
over a slow fire, till it takes on a brown color, similar to that of 
lightly roasted coffee. From this roasted salt, a grown up man 
takes a full tablespoonful, rather more than less, dissolved in a 
glass of hot water, at once, on the morning following the 
paroxysm, on an empty stomach, and in quotidian fevers a few 
hours after the paroxysm is over. As the remedy is only sure of 
its action on an empty stomach, neither food nor drink must be 
taken. Though great thirst follow, the patient must only sip a 
little water through straws; and, when the patient becomes 
hungry, forty-eight hours after taking the salt, he might take a 
little chicken broth, or a little beef tea. Strict diet and great care 
not to catch cold are of the utmost importance. I have used 
this remedy for the last eighteen years, and it has never failed in 
a single case when rightly applied. Hundreds of cases in Hun- 
gary were cured by it; and, during my voyage to Buenos Ayres, 
the mate of the steamer Ibis was cured by a single dose in twenty- 
four hours from an ague which had troubled him periodically for 
years, and the cure remained permanent. In the tropics of 
America every European immigrant, as soon as he goes inland, 
is attacked by intermittent fever, which, if neglected, is too fre- 
quently fatal. Thus, four hundred English people succumbed to 
it in the most paludal forests of Stape, in spite of the immense 
doses of Quinine and brandy taken; whereas the equally suffering 
German colony in the adjacent department of Haqua and Para- 
guay took their roasted salt, and no death occurred among them." 
Dr. Brookk, in N. A. J., 1878. 

There is, probably, no remedy in our Materia Medica (Arsenic 
alone excepted) so often indicated in severe cases — acute or chronic, 
even those maltreated by Arsenic and Quinine — as X. it rum muri- 
aticum. It will cure promptly when indicated; and much quicker

and more permanently in the attenuations above than below the 
thirtieth. Like Lye, Cal., Sep., Sul., and some of the metals, it 
is comparatively inert in the crude form. Hydroa on the lips is a 
guiding symptom, although Ign., Nux and Rhus all have it. If 
hydroa be present in first onset of the fever, although after fre- 
quent suppression by Quinine it may not be present in old cases, 
Natrum muriaticum should be thought of. ' In nursing children, 
hydroa on the lips, and later the ulcers which succeed them with 
forenoon attack, are guiding.

crease, but, in the midst of this progression of chills, the patient 
becomes drowsy, and, when the chills cease, is fast asleep. The 
hot stage is very slightly pronounced, the patient continues to

XUX VOMICA— OPIUM. 285 

" Children's interrnittents; shaking chill, with blue-mottled- skin % 
especially on covered parts. Morning chill, very severe, with skin 
blue-mottled ; thirst v<zxy great during chill and fever; great ten- 
dency to spasms (and even convulsions), as the chill went off and 
sweat came on. Bowels constipated, with ineffectual urging to 
stool, especially in nursing children; appetite poor, urine red and 
fetid, and generally a dry, hacking cough (Crotalus, if right side 
was most mottled)." — Dr. Higgins, N. A. J., p. 182. 

The ayiticipating chill always denotes increasing severity of the 
fever, and the remedies which correspond to it are among the most 
prominent and frequently called for, viz., Arsenic, Bryonia, 
Cinchona, Chininum s., Natrum mur. , and Nux vomica. Ipe- 
cacuanha may anticipate. Ignatia anticipates and postpones. 

By many professing homeopaths Nux vomica is used in alter- 
nation with Ipecacuanha, and they boast of their successs in the 
treatment of ague. However successful such treatment may be, 
it is routine practice, and, like the empiricism which leads the 
other school to the indiscriminate use of Quinine, must often fail. 
Nux vomica deserves, and will repay, a careful indvidualization.

PHELLANDRIUM — PHOSPHORIC ACID. 293 

Generally on the day after the attack there would be entire in- 
ability to urinate, or it would pass off in small quantities with 
urging and burning pains. 

" Jn. Frank reports {Path. Med. Trans., Paris, 1835) that he 
cured, without a failure, the intermittent fevers which prevailed 
during the spring and summer of 1801 with Phellandrium. But, 
he adds, immediately after that, in the following years, the same 
employed in the same disease failed. What more evident proof 
of the necessity of absolutely and always individualizing in pa- 
thology and therapeutics? The law of cure is immutable; there 
is no caprice about it; caprice is the appanage of physicians ! 
Phellandrium cured the fever of 1801; with the testimony of Jn. 
Frank no one has a right to doitbt it; and if it failed in the follow- 
ing epidemics it was because the medical constitution was no 
longer the same; and, not knowing how to individualize, Jn. 
Frank has left us a memento, but a sterile one. If, however, he 
had left us the minutely exact protraiture of the fever of 1S01, he 
would have left us the characteristics of Phellandrium, and the 
success which he obtained, instead of being lost to us, might have 
been repeated." — A. Charge, M. D.

Chill. — With thirst, especiall}' in the evening, on the upper 
arms and thighs, with horripilations, hot flashes, creeping chills, 
great weakness, debility, sleepiness. Internal shivering, creeping 
chills, and icy cold feel. Drinking causes cough (causes cough

Sweats profusely; takes cold easily. 

In all fevers, but, especially typhoid, Psorinum will prevent a 
protracted case, if there be a history of eczema, suppressed erup- 
tion or quinsy. In such cases the symptoms are never clear. 

Patient has never been well since typhoid fever. 

Psorinum will often clear up a case where there is lack of vital 
reaction after severe attacks, when other remedies, although well 
chosen, fail to relieve or permanently improve. The constitutional 
symptoms are reliable; the chief symptoms do not come to the 
surface during the paroxysm. It has cleared up many a case for

Secretions from all mucous membranes are thick, bland 
and yellowish-green (Kali s., Nat. s.). 

Pains : drawing, tearing, erratic, rapidly shifting fro/n one 
part to another (Kali b., Lac c.) ; are accompanied with con- 
stant chilliness, and the more severe the pain the harder the 
chill ; appear suddenly, leave gradually, or tension, which in- 
creases until very acute, and then " lets up with a snap " 
(toothache, neuralgia) ; on first moving (Rhus). 

Symptoms ever changing ; no two chills, no two stools, no 
two attacks alike ; very well one hour, miserable the next. 

Thirstlessness with nearly all complaints. 

Gastric difficulties from eating rich food, cake, pastry, espe- 
cially fat pork or sausage ; the sight or even thought of pork 
causes disgust ; " bad taste " in the morning. 



PULSATILLA. 309 

"All-gone" sensation in stomach, in tea drinkers espe- 
cially. 

Diarrhoea : only, or usually at night ; watery, greenish- 
yellow, very changeable ; soon as they eat ; from fruit, cold 
drinks, ice-cream (Ars., Bry. — eating pears, Ver., China ; 
onions, Thuja ; oysters, Brom., Lye; milk, Cal., Nat. c, Nic, 
Sul.; drinking impure water. Camp., Zing). 

Derangements at puberty ; catamenia, suppressed from 
getting the feet wet ; too late, scanty, slimy, intermitting flow, 
with evening chilliness ; flows more during the day (Lil. — on 
lying down, Kreos.; only at night or when lying, Mag. c). 

Sleep : wide awake in the evening, does not want to go to 
bed, first sleep restless, sound asleep when it is time to get up ; 
wakes languid and un refreshed (rev. of Nux). 

Styes, especially on upper lid, from eating fat, greasy, rich 
food or pork (compare, Lye, Staph.). 

Threatened abortion : flow ceases and then returns with in- 
creased force ; pains spasmodic, excite suffocation and faint- 
ing ; must have fresh air ; during chill. 

Relations. — Complementary : Kali m., Lye, Sil., Sulph. ac. 

Follows well : after Kali bi., Lye, Sep., Sil., Sul. 

Ailments : from Cham., Quinine, Mer., Sul., tea-drinking. 

vSilicea is the chronic of Pulsatilla in nearly all ailments. 

One of the best remedies with which to begin the treat- 
ment of a chronic case (Cal., Sulph.). 

Patients, anaemic or chlorotic, who have taken much iron, 
quinine and tonics, even years before. 

Aggravation. — In a warm, close room; evening, at twilight; 
lying on the left or painless side; indigestible food, fats, pork, ice 
•cream, etc.; on beginning to move; heat, warm applications 
{Kali in. I. 



310 PULSATILLA. 

Amelioration. — In open air; lying on painful side (Bry.); cold 
room; eating or drinking cold things; eold applications. 

Type. — Every type; simple and compound. Quotidian; tertian; 
quartan. Monthly (Nux, Sep.); every fourteen days (Ars., 
Cinch., Plan. ). Irregular type; irregular stages; long chill, little 
heat, no thirst (short chill, long heat, no thirst, Ipec); stages not 
marked and apt to run into each other (Ars., Nux, Pod. ). Bil- 
ious, remittent, continued. 

Time. — i, 8 and n a.m. i and 4 P.M. Afternoon and 
evening. The 4 o'clock paroxysm predominates. Evening par- 
oxysm lasts all night (Lye, Nux, Rhus). 

Cause. — Dietetic irregularities. Eating rich, fat food, pastries, 
pork, often originates an attack, or during convalescence produces 
a relapse (Ant. c, Ipec). 

Prodrome. — Thirst; drowsy and sleepy all day, with mucous 
diarrhoea; nausea or vomiting of mucus. If morning chill diar- 
rhoea previous night without thirst. 

Chill. — Cold chills all over ; chilliness all the time ; feels cold 
even in a warm room, in the evening. Chilliness the whole evening 
before bedtime, even while walking. Chilliness; on going from a 
warm room into the cold air; with pains in the evening. Chill at 
4 P. M., no thirst; vomiting of mucus when the chill comes on; 
anxiety; dyspnoea; flitting chilliness; in spots, now here, now 
there; worse in the evening. One-sided coldness, with numbness 
(Bry., Nat. right side; — Caust., Carbo v., Lye, Thuja — the 
left). Chilliness over the abdomen extending around the sacrum 
and back. Shivering on the back extending into the hypochondria, 
especially into the anterior portion of the arms and thighs, with 
a coldness of the limbs, and a feeling as if they would fall asleep, 
about 4 p. M. Shivering running up the back all day; creeping- 
shivering over the arms, with heat of the cheeks; the air of the 
room seems hot. Cold hands and feet, they seem dead (Lye, Sep. 
— whole body numb, Ced.j. Hand and foot of one side cold and 
red; the other side hot, in the evening. The morning paroxysm 
at 8 a. m. has nausea, vomiting, headache and vertigo; chilliness, 
heat and sweat intermingled, or simultaneous (Ars ), and usually 
much thirst during entire attack. Evening paroxysm; violent 






PULSATILLA. 311 

chill, with external coldness, without shivering or thirst; in the 
morning sensation of heat, as if sweat would break out, without 
thirst or external heat, though with hot hands and aversion to 
uncovering. 

Heat. — With thirst; with red face, or one cheek red and one 
pale (Aeon , Cham.). Heat of right side (left side and left arm, 
Rhus), or on npper part of body, lessened by motion or washing 
(Caps. — increased by motion, Nux); heat of face, or of one 
hand, with coldness of the other; body hot, limbs cold (Bell., 
Carbo v.). Anxious heat, as if dashed with hot zvater (Rhus). 
Intolerable burning heat at night in bed with uneasiness. 
Dry heat of the body in the evening, with distended veins 
and burning hands, that seek out cool places (Opium). He 
is hot, wishes to be uncovered (Apis, Camph., Sec). 
Moans and groans, licks the lips, but does not drink. Heat 
of the whole body, except the hands, which are cool, with 
pressive headache above the orbits. Internal dry heat with thirst; 
flushes of heat; with clothes on was too warm, on taking them 
off was chilly. External warmth is intolerable (heat of room 
is intolerable, Apis); the veins are enlarged (Bell., Cinch.). 
Fever ; thirst at 2 P. M., followed by chill at 4 P. M., with- 
out thirst, with coldness of the face and hands ; anxiety 
and oppression of the chest ; afterward, when lying down, 
drawing pains in the back, extending to the occiput, and 
thence into the temples and vertex ; after three hours, 
heat of the body, without thirst ; the skin was burning 
hot, but there was sweat only on the face, trickling down 
in large drops like pearls, sleepiness without sleep, and 
restlessness ; next morning sweat over whole body. 

"The intermittent fever that Pulsatilla is able to excite has 
thirst only during heat ( not during chill), seldom after the heat 
or before the chill. When there is only a sensation of heat, with- 
out externally perceptible heat, the thirst is wanting." — HAHNE- 
MANN. 

" When heat follows the chilliness, if it be only a sensation of 
heat with no objective warmth, there is no thirst; but if the heat 
be, as it sometimes is, both objective and subjective, it is theu at-

tended by thirst. Remember this, because absence of thirst is said 
to be a characteristic of Pulsatilla, and presence of thirst, there- 
fore, to contra-indicate. This is true with the limitation stated." 
— Dunham. 

Sweat. — One-sided ; only on the left, or only on the right 
side of the body; sweat on the right side of the face (sweat on the 
side on which he lies, Aeon., Chin. s. — on the side not lain upon, 
Benz , Sanicula — on single parts only, Bry.); sweat worse at 
night or in the morning, ceases when waking (see Samb.) Per- 
spiration on the head, face, and scalp. Sweat all night, with 
loquacity daring stupefied slumber (loquacity during chill, 
Pod. — during heat, Lach. and Pod.). Pains continue during 
sweat (Eup., Lach., Nat., Nux — worse during sweat, Ipec). 

Tongue. — Coated white or yellozv, and covered with a tenacious 
mucus ; too large, too broad. Taste foul, of putrid meat ; dis- 
gusting ; bitter, slimy, bilious taste after eating, drinking and 
smoking. Desire for beer, alcohol, stimulants, sour, refreshing 
things. Aversion to fat pork, milk, bread. 

Pulse. — Weak, small, but accelerated Pulsations through the 
whole body; in violent paroxysms; from chagrin, fright, joy; 
with anaemia, chlorosis; great anxiety, was obliged to throw off 
his clothes. 

Apyrexia. — Spleen enlarged and sensitive. Constant chilliness 
during apyrexia. Headache, moist cough, painful oppression of 
the chest, somnolence, loss of appetite, bitterness of the mouth, 
sour eructations, nausea and vomiting of mucus, diarrhoea of 
glairy, watery stools, with prevalence of gastric and bilious 
symptoms. 

After abuse of Quinine, with bitter taste of food and clean 
tongue. Suppression of menses, or irregular menses (Sep.). 
Slightest derangement of the stomach will cause a relapse ( Ipec. ) . 
Mild, tearful disposition of women and children often becomes 
converted into a peevish, irritable, fretful mood; symptoms of 
threatened abortion during paroxysm in early months of preg- 
nancy. Paroxysm of increasing severity and ever chang- 
ing symptoms ; no two attacks alike. 

Analysis. — Chill ; evening, 4 p.m.; cold all over; one-sided.

puerperalism that it bids fair to occupy a unique place in our 
therapeutics; here it is almost without a rival, in prompt and 
effective action, when the best selected remedy fails to > or im-

thesis. 

Bad effects of getting wet, especially after being over- 
heated. 

Ailments : from spraining or straining a single part, muscle

in bed ; must change position often to obtain relief from pain 
(restlessness from mental anxiety, Aeon., Ars.). 

Muscular rheumatism, sciatica, left side (Col.) ; aching in 
left arm, with heart disease. 

Great sensitiveness to open air ; putting the hand from 
under the bed-cover brings on the cough (Bar., Hep.). 

Great apprehension at night; fears he will die of being 
poisoned ; cannot remain in bed.

Aggravation. — Ik-fore a storm; cold, wet, weather; at night, 
especially at midnight; anything cold. Rest. 

Amelioration. — Warmth; warm, dry weather, wrapping up, 
warm or hot things; motion ; change of position ,■ moving the 
affected parts. 



318 RHUS TOXICODENDRON. 

" The great characteristic of Rhus is that, with few exceptions, 
the pains occur and are aggravated during repose and arc amelior- 
ated by motion. This statement, however, requires some explana- 
tion. In addition to the symptoms of Rhus, which resemble 
paralysis, there are also groups of symptoms resembling muscular 
and articular rheumatism. These rheumatic symptoms come on 
with severity during repose and increase as long as the patient 
keeps quiet, until they compel him to move. Now, on first at- 
tempting to move, he finds himself very stiff, and the first move- 
ment is exceedingly painful. By continuing to move for a little 
while, however, the stiffness is relieved and the pains decidedly 
decrease, the patient feeling much better. But this improvement 
does not go on indefinitely. After moving continuously for a 
longer or shorter period, and finding comfort therein, the paralytic 
symptoms interpose their exhausting protest, and the patient is 
compelled, from a sensation of lassitude and powerlessness, to 
suspend his movements and to come to repose. At first this re- 
pose, after long-continued motion, is grateful, since it relieves, 
not the aching and severe pains, but only the sense of prostra- 
tion. Before long the pains come on again during this repose and 
the pitient is forced to move again as before." — Dunham. 

The pains of Rhus are aggravated by rest, while the pains of 
Bryonia are relieved by rest. It is the languor and paralysis of 
Rhus that are relieved by rest, not the pains. 

Type. — Every type. Quotidian; tertian, double tertian; 
quartan, double quartan. First two stages often irregular. Re- 
mittent; continued; endemic and epidemic, typhoid and typhus; 
dengue; mountain; yellow fever. 

Time. — -5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 p. m.. All periods except forenoon. 
Morning fever without chill 6 to 10 a. m. Evening paroxysm 
predominant; that at 7 P. M. lasts all night (Nux, Lye, Puis.); 
every seventh day. 

Cause. — Rheumatic exposure, especially getting wet when 
overheated; after a drenching from rain and neglecting the pre- 
caution of changing the wet clothes; too frequent cold bathing in 
ponds or streams; " going in swimming " too often in midsum- 
mer. Living in damp rooms; sleeping in damp beds; fevers oc- 
curring in damp, wet weather. 






RHUS TOXICODENDRON. 319 

Prodrome. — Yawning; stretching and aching of the limbs; 
increase of saliva in mouth; burning in the eyes and painful 
weariness of the limbs. " A dry, teasing, fatiguing cough, 
coming on first sometimes hours before, and continuing 
during the chill iSamb.). I have often cured iutermittents 
with Rhus, guided by this symptom alone." — Dunham. 

Chill. — Begins in one thigh, only on one side, the right by 
preference (Bry., Thuja); sometimes, though rarely, between 
the scapulae; or with severe rheumatic pains over whole body. 
The arm and leg of this side first feel the cold. Shaking chill 
about 5 p. m., even in a warm room or by a hot stove, with thirst 
and salivation, relieved by covering up in bed (not relieved by 
covering, Nux); salivation and all symptoms disappeared during 
sleep or on rising. Stretching and pain of the limbs, shivering 
over the zvhole body, with much thirst, cold hands, heat and redness 
of the face ; in the evening in bed shivering; in the morning per- 
spiration over the whole body. Chill, with intense muscular 
pains, must walk about for relief. Chilliness and heat in the 
evening ; the face very hot, though the cheeks ice re cold to touch 
and pale ; with very hot breath. Shaking chill on going from the 
open air into a warm room without thirst (reverse of Puis.). 
Shivering heat and perspiration over body at the same time (chill 
and heat alternating or simultaneously, Ant. t., Ars., Cal.), 
without thirst. Shaking chill in open air. not relieved by cover- 
ing. Internal coldness of limbs Hike falling asleep) but no trace 
of external coldness. Extremely cold hands and feet. Chill in 
all the limbs for an hour at 6 p.m., with diarrhoea (without 
thirst j, then violent heat and profuse perspiration lasting three 
hours, witli thirst. Severe chill at 7 P. M., as though dashed 
with ice cold water | Ant. t. 1, or as if the blood were run- 
ning cold through the vessels ; cold when he moves ; in- 
creased by eating and drinking ; became hoi by lying down ami 
coverings fain between the shoulders anil stretching of the limbs 
during fever at night, sweat in morning. Chill ;it s p. \i., 
without thirst, with diarrhoea and cutting pains in abdomen with 
the heat, for several hours, with thirst; followed by light sweat, 
sleep and morning diarrhoea. Cough during chill; dry, teas- 
ing, fatiguing 'dry, racking with pain and pleuritic stitches in 



320 RHUS TOXICODENDRON. 

chest, Bry.). Great restlessness in chill (in all stages, Ars.). 
The restlessness is because he finds that tossing about relieves, 
not from mental anguish, as in Arsenicum. 

Heat. — With thirst. General heat at 10 A. M., with yawning, 
drowsy, tired feeling, as if dashed with hot water, excessive 
heat, as from hot water running through the blood-vessels, 
without thirst, but with throbbing, dull headache, pressure and 
swelling at pit of stomach, and diarrhoea with cutting pain in ab- 
domen, may last all night. No cough in heat, but urticaria 
breaks out over entire body with violent itching, increased 
by rubbing, with great heat and thirst, drinks little and often; 
lips dry. (Urticaria as chill passes off, Apis — before and during 
chill, Hep. — during heat and sweat, Rhus — during heat only, 
Ign. ) She was too hot internally and chilly externally. Head 
and hand hot, rest of body chilly, or vice versa. Heat on the left 
side and coldness of right side of body. Hot, flushed face and 
burning heat of skin, yet not warm to the touch. Heat, after 
the chill, with siveat, which relieves, or chill in some parts and heat 
in others, both at the same time. Restless, constantly chang- 
ing position (Ars.). Shtiddering on moving or uncovering. 

" The urticaria is intolerable; appears in spots or weals over the 
whole body; even the palms of the hands and soles of the feet, 
driving the patient frantic." — Ceement Pearson. 

Sweat. — Profuse sweat, odorless and not exhausting (Samb.). 
Morning sweats, not debilitating. Urticaria, with violent itch- 
ing, which passes off with the sweat. Sweat, with violent 
trembling. Night-sweat; sometimes sour; musty; putrid (rare). 
Sweat over whole body, except face (reverse of Sil.), or vice 
versa. Sleep during sweat (Pod.). Sweat does not relieve all 
pains (like Nat.). Sweat may be profuse and debilitating in 
old cases, after frequent suppression by quinine and "ague 
cures." 

Tongue.— Coated white, often on one side only; takes imprint 
of teeth (Mer., Pod.); with red, triangular tip ; sore, cracked. 
Bread tastes bitter, after eating. Hunger, without appetite; 
craving for milk; cold water ; beer; to relieve the dry mouth. 
Aversion to alcoholic liquors and meat (reverse of Puis.). 

Apyrexia. — Not characteristic. Symptoms of the paroxysms*

continue in a modified form, particularly of the skin. Continual 
motion otily relieves. Constant restlessness, cannot sit qtiiet, turns 
in bed frequently -without finding an easy place (because bed is so 
hard, Arn., Pyr.). Hydroa on upper lip, not as pearly, but as 
characteristic as Natrum. 

In July, 1 88 1, I cured three cases of ague in one family, where 
hydroa on upper lip was characteristic. Nat. m. had been given 
in each case without success, and one prescription of Rhus cured. 
Since verified by W. A. Allen and A. McNeil.

structed, preventing breathing and nursing ; snuffles (Am. 
c, Nux).

attack (Lach. — compare, Arum drac.). 

Attacks of suffocation as in last stage of croup. 

Cough : suffocative, with crying children ; worse about 
midnight ; hollow, deep, whooping, with spasm of chest ; 
with regular inhalations, but sighing exhalations. 

Aggravation. — During rest; midnight; after eating fruit. 

Amelioration. — Sitting up in bed. Motion: most of the pains 
occur during rest and disappear during motion ( Rims). 

Follows well: after Opium in fright. Antidotes abuse of Arsenic. 

Type. — Irregular. 

Time. — 3, 4, 5 and 6 p. M. Afternoon and evening.

Chill. — Without thirst. Coldness creeps over the .whole body,, 
especially hands and feet, which are cold to touch. Shaking chill 
creeping over whole body, though face was warm. Hands and 
feet icy cold ; the rest of body warm as usual. Chill lasts half an 
hour. Spasmodic, deep, dry cough from lower part of chest, with- 
out expectoration; may occur during chill if absent in prodrome. 
Rarely occurs both before and during chill (see Rhus). 

Heat. — Without thirst ; dread of uncovering. Sensation 
of burning heat in the face, with warmth of body and icy coldness 
of the feet, without thirst. Dry heat on falling asleep. Intolerable 
dry heat all over the body, with dread of uncovering; thinks he 
would take cold or have an attack of colic if uncovered (Hep.). 
Dry heat while he sleeps. 

Sweat. — Profuse sweat breaks out on the face, without 
thirst, while awake, from 7 P. M. to 1 A. M.; stood in drops 
upon the face, and extends over the entire body during 
waking hours ; on going to sleep again the dry heat returns 
(sweat when he sleeps, stops when he wakes, Thuja). Profuse 
non- debilitating sweat, day and night, with relief of all symp- 
toms (Nat.). 

Apyrexia. — Profuse sweat continues during this stage ,■ mav be- 
come weakening from its profuseness alone, which is out of alL 
proportion to the chill and heat. 

Analysis. — Cough deep, dry, precedes the fever paroxysm. 

Fever: dry heat while he sleeps; on falling asleep; after lying 
down; without thirst; dreads uncovering (must be covered in 
every stage, Nux). 

Profuse sweat over entire body during waking hours ; on going, 
to sleep, dry heat returns (sweats as soon as he closes his eyes to- 
sleep, Cinch., Con.). 

Sambucus is almost the only remedy which has dry heat while 
asleep, profuse sweat while awake, then dry heat again when 
he sleeps. (Sweat on waking from a sound sleep, Rum.) The 
profuse sweat is rarely debilitating, and never in proportion to its- 
profuseness; always without thhirst. Cinch, has profuse debilitat- 
ing sweat with great thirst; the reverse of Sambucus. Deep, dry,. 



SAMBUCUS. 327 

racking cough before the chill, for half an hour, with nausea and 
thirst, is characteristic (Rhus has dry, teasing cough, like Rumex 
crispus, before and during chill). 



CLINICAL. 

Case I. — Irregular paroxysm occurring every other day. Quinine had 
no effect. Cough deep and dry for half an hour, with nausea and thirst. 
Chill for half an hour, without cough, nausea or thirst; slight fever with 
moist skin; profuse sweat at night not debilitating. Apyrexia complete. 
Prescribed for the profuse sweat at night, not debilitating, Sambucus, a 
drop dose of the tincture, which resulted in a perfect cure, no other attack 
occurring. — Dunham. 

Case II. — Mrs. H ■. Chills and fever; type quotidian. Paroxj'sm 

commenced at 3 p. m., with hard dry cough, from lower part of the chest, 
racking and shaking the whole body, and producing a pain over the whole 
head, which is relieved by pressure or having the head tightly bound up. 
No expectoration with the cough. Great thirst for large quantities of water 
very often. Longing for acids. 

Chill — Severe and shaking, continuing for half an hour. Lips and nails 
blue. Nausea and vomiting, aggravated by drinking, the substance vomited 
having a bitter, sour taste. Bitter, sour taste in the mouth during the par- 
oxysm. Tongue coated white, chills running down the back. Back and 
limbs ache, particularly during the chill, and worse when they come in con- 
tact with the bed. Cough, headache and thirst continued. 

Heat. — Great, with stupor and prostration. Thirst and cough continue, 
but no headache. Pains in the back and limbs. Great difficulty in speak- 
ing. With the heat a profuse perspiration. 

Delirium. — Is distressed because she imagines some one in bed with her. 
This oppresses her respiration, as she has to breathe for two. Continual 
talking. Sense of suffocation, with a fluttering at the heart. Great distress 
in the region of the heart, whence the cough seems to proceed. Moaning 
and weeping during sleep. 

Sweat. — At night a drenching sweat, smelling sour-fetid, staining yellow, 
not debilitating. Ineffectual desire to urinate, passing water once in twenty- 
four hours, a small quantity of turbid, loam-colored urine. 

Attempts to cover the totality of the symptoms with any one remedy, re- 
sulted in tin- conviction that it was impossible. Hup., l'.iv., [pec, Ars., 
Cal., and Sabad., were successively given without benefit. Dr. Dunham 
now sug^.-sts that the " hard, dry COUgb before the chill." " the half-hour 

chill," and the " profuse, non-debilitating sweat at night," reminded him 
of a case h<- hid cured with Sambucus. The cough and sweat, however, 
seemed the characteristics in this case, and Sambucus 1000 was given, To 



328

sistent, long-continued fever; skin dry, hot, burning; tem- 
perature 103-105, little or no remission, day or night; pa- 
tient literally being consumed with fever.

Sulphur bears the same relation to chronic cases that Ipecacu- 
anha does to acute, viz.: if the indications for the remedy be not 
clear and well defined, Sulphur may clear up the case, or completely 
cure it alo?ie. Intermittent fever is a terrible searcher after weak 
organs; and Sulphur is frequently required in all forms of the 
disease — acute and early, or chronic and later — to combat some 
latent malady aroused during the course of the fever. If we 
would us- Sulphur more and Quinine less, our success would be 
much more satisfactory, both to our patients and ourselves. 

" The antiperiodic virtue of Sulphur does not apply simply to 
pyrexial intermittentS, but it also comprehends intermittent neu- 
ralgias, which consist of attacks of pain on the right side of the 
id head, which begins at the mamillaries and finally extends 
along the orbital nerves, and thence involves the whole side of 
the head, there being no dental caries. The pains begin toward

evening, last three to four hours, then cease, reappear later, and 
again cease up to the hour of attack in the evening. Psoric sub- 
jects; after the suppression of an exanthem: after the abuse of 
Quinine." — A. Charge, M. D. 

Sulphur worn next the skin, in the form of flowers of Suphur, 
is an effective antidote to the malarial poison which is supposed to 
produce intermittent fever, typhus and diphtheria, as well as 
cholera.*

* " Just as the milk of Sulphur applied to the skin (worn in the stockings) 
is the best preventive of cholera", so Carbo v. is the best preventive of yellow 
fever." — H BRING. 

In Memphis, in 1873, charcoal came much into favor as a prophylactic; 
out of more than fifty persons who took it and were constantly exposed to 
the fever not one was attacked; the usual dose was half a teaspoouful of the 
crude powder, two or three times a day." — Dr. MORSE.

YERATRUM ALBUM. 373 

without subseque?it heat, with great weakness of thighs and limbs

374 VERATRUM ALBUM, 

Pulse. — Small, weak, slow, and growing continually weaker, 
often imperceptible. Blood runs like cold water through the 
vessels. 

Apyrexia. — There is great general exhaustion and rapid sink- 
ing of strength; oppression of the chest; deep sighing; face pale 
and cold, with cold sweat on forehead. The heart's impulse very 
weak in the intermission, as well as during the paroxysm; faint- 
ing; there are cramps in the stomach, abdomen and limbs; great 
thirst if much vomiting and diarrhoea, and vice versa; extremities 
persistently cold. Skin bluish, cold, inelastic, with deficient re- 
action. 

We may require to compare Elaterium with Veratrum which it 
resembles in the suddenness of its onset, the profuseness of its 
evacuations, and its great prostration. But the characteristic 
predominance of the cold stage will serve to distinguish between 
them. 

Like Camphor, the cold stage is so well marked that it over- 
shadows all the others; the hot stage is light or often wanting 
altogether. When the hot stage is present the temperature is 
rarely elevated, and is often diminished during heat. There is 
such a general lack of vital heat, and slow, defective reaction, 
that the patient scarcely recovers from one paroxysm ere another 
begins. The temperature is generally subnormal. 

The above makes one of our best pictures of the "sinking," 
" congestive," or " pernicious " forms of intermittent fever. The 
patient thinks he will die; and the physician shares his fears The 
allopath now resorts to stimulants for the present; and Quinine to 
prevent the return of future paroxysm. Shall we, on that thread- 
bare plea of pseudo-homeopaths, that " there is no time for 
homeopathic remedies to act," follow his example? Those are 
not lacking "in faith," but in knowledge, who "desert their 
colors under fire." The homeopath who knows his Materia 
Med ica will cure such cases without resorting to "rational" (?) 
uncertainty. If he does not know his Materia Medica, he is justi- 
fied in resorting to anything to try to save his patient; but the 
treatment should go by its right name, and the failure to cure 
should be properly credited. Every homeopath is responsible for 
not knowing what he professes to practice. 



YERATRUM ALBUM— YERATRUM YIRIDE. 375 

" Among the great number of intermittent fevers there is a 
formidable pyrexia called perjiiciozis, because it maj ? carry off the 
patient in the second or third paroxysm; he dies probably from 
the excess of poisoning. This extremely violent pyrexia forms no 
exception to the rule; and, like all other pyrexiae, finds its most 
prompt and certain remedy in the drug which is most homeo- 
pathic to it. But here a delicate question arises which should be 
solved at once: What shall we do in the presence of a pernicious 
fever in which we have reason to fear sudden death, in the second 
or third paroxysm? Find the homeopathic remedy. Without 
doubt, principles are inflexible, and I know no means more power- 
ful to combat the radicalism of the false than to oppose to it the 
radicalism of the true. 

"We have a law of cure which has always shown itself tri- 
umphant when rigorously applied. Why should we be unfaithful 
to it? I see no reason. The violence of the disease? But the 
more urgent the haste, the more highly ought we to value the 
shortest road. Now the most prompt and certain means of curing 
any disease whatever, however pernicious we may suppose it, con- 
sists in opposing to it the homeopathic remedy. Then, instead 
of renouncing in this emergency the application of our law, it is 
best to conform to its requirements. The greater the danger, the 
greater this obligation." — Charge. 

" When we have to do with an art whose end is the saving of 
human life, any neglect to make ourselves thoroughly masters of 
it becomes a crime." — Hahnemann.
